OVERVIEW
The NAUI Instructor Crossover Course (ICC)
is designed to train and qualify current non-NAUI recreational scuba
instructors to train diving students and register them for NAUI
certification. During the course, candidate instructors learn effective
methods to teach skin and scuba diving in compliance with NAUI Diving
Course Standards.
The ICC may be presented in two phases. If
done so, Phase One called an Instructor Crossover Program (ICP), contains
all preparatory training except for the final evaluations. During an ICP,
candidate practice performances must be evaluated by at least two
qualified evaluators, one of whom may be a STW completer and the other an
IT or CD. The ICP can be conducted in many formats, ranging in length from
a day to an internship over an extended period.
The second or final phase of an ICC so
organized is called the IQP, during which a Course Director must be in
residence and all final evaluations will be made.
