The pinnacle of SSI’s dive professional training is the desirable Instructor Trainer rating. SSI Instructor Trainers are qualified to teach the Instructor Training Course (ITC) and prepare future SSI Instructors for their Instructor Evaluation (IE). This is one of the most rewarding and most challenging experiences an Instructor can perform.

To upgrade to Dive Control Specialist Instructor you will attend an additional ITC, working side by side with the Instructor Trainer, helping him teaching Instructor Candidates how to teach.
