SSI Instructor Crossover | SSI Crossover Instructor I Instructor SSI Crossover

During the SSI Instructor CrossOver the emphasis is on introducing you to the SSI System rather than testing your teaching abilities. We respect the fact that as certified Diving Instructors you already possess the knowledge and skills to teach and certify student divers. Our focus will be to simply introduce you to the SSI System and Education Philosophy, showing you how to gain the maximum benefit from the support materials provided.

These are the main leadership levels within the SSI system:

Before the SSI Crossover starts, we look at your current experience and decide on which level you will be crossed over to, Remember we need copies of written proof of your experience and rating, like a list of your professional credentials and course breakdowns. Specialties that you already hold and have certified Divers in with another organization will be automatically crossed over.

Why SSI Instructors are More Marketable

• SSI Instructors possess business knowledge that instructors from other agencies don't. Our expanded course content of the SSI Instructor Cossove gives you an edge over "teaching only" programs and makes you a much more valuable, well-rounded employee.
• SSI Instructors represent the best of both worlds. You are trained to use the award-winning SSI Teaching System and you are trained to be a skilled educator.
• SSI Instructors are able to conduct the Universal Referral Program. This program allows you to complete referral dives through six different agencies: IDEA, NASDS, NAUI, PDIC, SSI and the YMCA. This is particularly valuable to resorts that receive customers affiliated with various certification agencies which PADI is not a member of - So you are losing possible income
• PADI Vs SSI - Scuba Diving Certification Agencies
