How Should I Prepare for My SSI ITC- What Should I Do?

Being properly ready for your ITC will make it so much easier to complete in a stress-free manner and enable you to go to the IE all set. Below we include the best way to prepare for your SSI ITC including:

  • The study that be completed by you.
  • Digital Learning
  • SSI Training Standards
  • Dive theory you should get familiar with via the SSI Science of Diving and other specialty programs
  • SSI materials to study.

Complete SSI Instructor Training Course Digital Learning

The SSI Instructor Training Course digital learning component provides access to comprehensive training materials anytime, anywhere. It includes interactive lessons on dive theory, teaching techniques, and safety procedures. You’ll find videos, quizzes, and knowledge reviews to reinforce learning. This self-paced approach allows you to study at your convenience and be well-prepared for practical sessions. You need to complete this before the ITC to best prepare yourself.

Familiarise Yourself with the SSI Scuba Training Standards

Locate the SSI Scuba Training Standards in the “Courses” section of your MySSI app or through the MySSI website on a browser. You can also download a PDF file of the latest standards from the MySSI website in the “Downloads” section. Read the standards and familiarise yourself with where things can be found in the manual.

Go Over Your Dive Theory

Study your SSI Science of Diving Digital Learning and answer questions in the app. You can also use our dedicated ITC Learning Centre. This has informative videos, tips, and quizzes to help you prepare your dive theory. On booking the ITC you will receive access to our Online Classroom which has further preparation aids.

  • Dive planning and environmental considerations
  • Dive physics (e.g., buoyancy, pressure, gas laws)
  • Dive physiology (e.g., decompression sickness, narcosis)
  • Dive equipment
  • Decompression theory and dive tables/computers
