Instructor Foundation Course (IFC)

Sports Diver - minimum age 16 - Fee £97Diving Instructor's Manual

The first step in qualifying as a BSAC Diving Instructor, (including the Instructor cross-over programme), is to attend the two-day IFC, where the essential elements of instruction are taught.
 
The comprehensive student pack provides candidates with course notes and a copy of the BSAC publication 'The Diving Instructor's Manual' and a CD-ROM of the Instructor Manual.
 
Members who have attained Dive Leader grade can complete the Theory Instructor Exam (TIE) at any stage after attendance on the IFC.
 
On completion of the IFC members, who are Dive Leaders, can further build their teaching experience by attendance at an Open Water Instructor Course (OWIC). Following OWIC attendance and after further practice and experience at Branch level those who have gained Dive Leader status can apply for the Practical Instructor Exam (PIE).
