The WOSD 'Dive Leader' course is the first 'professional' certification in the WOSD range of courses. Following completion of this course, a WOSD 'Dive Leader' may assist an instructor during courses and may also independently train and certify snorkel divers. In addition a 'Dive Leader' may conduct supervised dives for ‘Supervised Divers'.

Therefore this course focuses primarily on management, didactical skills and control during (diver) training. The trainee is also taught how to conduct snorkel courses and how to supervise certified divers A WOSD 'Dive Leader' is a professional who is invaluable throughout the world.

The WOSD “Dive Leader” course consists of the following sections:

For Instructors from other diving organisations who want to become a WOSD Instructor, there are WOSD cross-over courses.

The WOSD crossover courses do not have a fixed, standard program, but are set up on an individual basis. The advantage is that the relevant crossover candidate does not have to relearn the information that he or she already knows, but only receives that information that is necessary in addition to become certified as a WOSD Instructor.

The information that can be included in a WOSD Cross-over course are:
– The WOSD Standards and Procedures;
– The ISO standardisation system;
– The WOSD courses and training organisation charts;
– The WOSD Digital Learning System (D-learning);
– Theoretical and practical lesson presentations through modular didactics;
– The WOSD Dive Planner;
– The WOSD (diving) skills;
– The WOSD Digital Member system (D-Member).

Pre-requisites*:

• Minimum 18 years of age (and must be at least have reached the age of majority that applies in the country where the student will conduct courses for instructional qualification);
• Competent swimmer (swimming diploma not necessary);

These depend on the entry level and are equal to the powers that apply to the relevant WOSD instructor level. Look at the other WOSD primary instructor courses for a detailed overview of the different levels.

The WOSD Staff Instructor course is the first step from training divers, to training Dive Instructors.

A WOSD Staff Instructor may assist an Instructor Trainer during instructor training courses. In addition, he or she may, under supervision of a WOSD Instructor Trainer, train an Instructor level 1.

The WOSD “Staff Instructor” course consists of the following sections:

Staff Instructor Training Course (SITC):
In this part of the course, you assist, under the guidance of a WOSD ‘Instructor Trainer’, during two complete WOSD Instructor Training courses (ITC).
During the first ITC you learn about the ITC structure and how the to evaluate candidates during an ITC.
If you complete this first ITC successfully, you then run a second ITC, including all modules and evaluations. This part of the course will be rounded off with the administrative requirements for an ITC. Following successful completion of this part of the course, you can start the Staff Instructor Examination.

Staff Instructor Examination (SIE):
In order to ensure that a potential WOSD ‘Staff Instructor’ has the required level of skills and knowledge, the final phase of a WOSD ‘Staff Instructor’ course is an examination. An independent WOSD ‘Instructor Examiner’, who was not involved in the ITC, will evaluate the ‘WOSD ‘Staff Instructor’ candidate on their ability to assist a WOSD 'Instructor Trainer' in a safe and professional manner.

Pre-requisites:

  If the 'Staff Instructor' is directly supervised and authorised by a WOSD 'Instructor Trainer':
• Train and evaluate a WOSD 'Instructor level 1'.

Just as a WOSD Instructor is responsible for the training of WOSD divers, so is a WOSD 'Instructor Trainer' responsible for the training of WOSD Instructors and WOSD Staff Instructors.

He or she is responsible for bringing a (Staff) Instructor candidate to the level that is required by the WOSD and to ensure that they have a good chance of passing the final (Staff) Instructor examination that is judged by an independent Instructor Examiner. That is why the WOSD 'Instructor Trainer' course is only run at the WOSD head office.

During the WOSD Instructor Trainer course, the 'Instructor Trainer' candidate will learn how to recognise and develop the best qualities of a (staff) Instructor trainee. Training is also given in didactical skills, management and dive skills and the professionalism and attitude of the Instructor Trainer candidate are evaluated.
