As a dive instructor you have the opportunity to transfer your own hobby / passion to new and existing divers. You are the calling card of WOSD but also of the diving sport and involved in the development of divers. Your goal is to get every person out of the water with a smile.
WOSD Instructor courses are divided into 'Primary Instructor Courses', 'Instructor Recreational Specialties' and 'Instructor Technical Specialties'.
PRIMARY INSTRUCTOR COURSES
In this group includes the primary instructor courses that use the complete diving equipment. The main goal of these courses is to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and responsibly train a diver in a youth or primary course.
Dive Leader
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:

Instructor, level 1
The 'Instructor Level 1' course is designed to provide the instructor candidate with the knowledge and experience that is required to train divers up to 'Supervised Diver' (Diver level 1) in a safe and responsible manner for the theory and swimming pool / confined water sections.
After following specific 'dry' speciality instructor courses, an Instructor Level 1, may also train and certify trainees in those specialities. These are specialty courses where the students do not have to go into the water, such as the WOSD 'Equipment Specialist'.
Under the direct supervision of an 'Instructor Level 2', an 'Instructor Level 1' may also train and evaluate trainees for the theory and swimming pool / confined water sessions of the 'Autonomous Diver' (Diver level 2) and Dive Leader' (Diver level 3) courses.
The WOSD “Instructor Level 1” course consists of the following sections:

The section will be rounded off by covering relevant legal issues and legislation as well as administrative tasks.
Instructor Examination (IE):
In order to ensure that a potential WOSD ‘Instructor Level 1’ has the required level of skills and knowledge, the final phase of a ‘WOSD ‘Instructor Level 1’ course is an examination. An independent WOSD ‘Instructor Examiner’, who was not involved in the ITC, will evaluate the ‘WOSD ‘Instructor Level 1’ candidate on their ability to train a WOSD diver in a safe and professional manner.

Instructor cross-over
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);
- Approved medical examination (not older than 1 year);
- Signed Certificate of Understanding;
- At least 120 logged dives (excluding training dives);
- In possession of a recognised diving instructor certificate in active status;
- In possession of a recognised underwater navigation certificate;
- In possession of a recognised night diver certificate;
- In possession of a recognised (multi-level) deep diver certificate;
- In possession of a recognised equipment specialist certificate;
- In possession of a recognised rescue diver certificate;
- In possession of a recognised First Aid and CPR certificate;
- In possession of a recognized certificate for the administration of medical oxygen.
*Because WOSD has developed its entire training system according to ISO standards and guidelines, a crossover instructor candidate may be required to complete additional certifications before gaining full certification at the appropriate WOSD Instructor level.
Authorized to:
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.
Staff Instructor
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.

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.

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.
