Get started today - You need to be a Divemaster or equivalent to join SSI's 3-step Instructor Training Approach. The training process begins with enrollment in the Assistant Instructor/Instructor Training Course combination accompanied by digital learning. Upon successful completion of the Instructor Training Course (ITC), you will enroll in an Instructor Assessment (IE) to qualify as an SSI Open Water Instructor. This 10-day training program trains you to independently teach several key SSI programs, such as Scuba Diver, Open Water Diver, Enriched Air Nitrox, Diver Stress & Rescue, and Dive Guide.
For those who want to take more time to learn and gain valuable teaching experience between training programs, the 3 parts can also be done as individual steps: Assistant Instructor, Instructor Training Course (ITC) and Instructor Evaluation (IE), one after the other, at your own pace and with a flexible schedule.
