Instructor Training Course (ITC)
OVERVIEW
The NAUI Instructor Training Course (ITC) is designed to train and qualify NAUI Instructor members. During the course future instructors learn effective methods to teach skin and scuba diving in compliance with NAUI Diving Course Standards.
The ITC may be presented in two
phases.
If done so, Phase One, called an Instructor Training Program (ITP),
contains all developmental training except for the final evaluations.
During an ITP, candidate practice performances must be evaluated by at
least two qualified evaluators, one of whom may be a Staff Trainer
Workshop (STW) completer and the other an Instructor Trainer (IT)
or Course Director (CD). The ITP can be conducted in many formats,
ranging in length from a week to an internship over an extended
period. The second or final phase of an ITC so organized is called the
Instructor Qualification Program (IQP), during which a Course Director
must be in residence and all final evaluations will be made.
The course assures the NAUI membership that candidates who receive
certification as NAUI Instructors have the knowledge, skills, fitness
and proper attitude to do so.
