Learning to teach diving is a bit like learning to drive a car. Passing your driving test does not necessarily mean that you have the skills, experience and confidence to be a good driver. It's the same with diving. Our ITC is more than just a way to get your instructor certification!
Why do your ITC with Camel?
- benefit directly from the real-world diving industry experience of our SSI Instructor Trainer - Simone Pelucchi.
- become highly employable, worldwide. Dive centres seek instructors who know how to balance the needs of guests, colleagues and management, and who can deliver high-quality courses, sell and promote diving. Simone will help you to develop and apply the skills that make you attractive to employers and help you find work.
- increase your work opportunities. Approximately 50% of our ITC candidates work with us afterwards. While we do not guarantee you a job, we seek staff who display a positive attitude during the ITC.
- gain teaching experience, by shadowing one of our staff teaching an SSI course. You see for yourself the practicalities of running a course and make a smooth transition to teaching students of your own.
- enjoy the same high level of professionalism, dive resort facilities and friendly atmosphere that we offer to everyone diving with us.
