For many Countries they still still do not have standards for Sports Diving and generally International Standards are adopted from the
Industry or Government Standards like UK HSE are widely considered to be of the highest standard as diving in the UK is regulated by law... UK HSE vet and assess every training agency they approve to operate in the UK. ITDA has held UK HSE approval since 2005...
We meet and exceed the following International Standards from ISO - ISO 11121:2009, Recreational diving services – Requirements for introductory training programs to scuba diving, and ISO 11107:2009, Recreational diving services – Requirements for training programs on enriched air Nitrox (EAN) diving, answer the needs of this expanding market where competent training is essential.
Where no national or International Standards exist we can be commissioned to create them and to direct and focus on our knowledge and experience to make diver training safer and can include: Occupational diving - At Work Divers, UW Welding, Public Safety Diving, Professional Rescue, Research & Scientific Diving. Fisheries and Aqua culture. Projects of any size?
We can also be consulted on oil and gas industry (Energy Sector) diving projects, training and project management.

See here our unique Process for Learning and Skills development with Core Learning (What does this level of diver need to know and understand).
Critical Skills Development (What are the most important safety skills? )
Can the student perform these skills with Confidence, Comfortably and to the required level of "Competence", to meet ITDA passing grade standards. If so then certification may be given...
If not then remedial training may be employed at additional cost to the student. Final process is Assessment followed by Evaluation and grading.
Due to the major problems and massive law suit / legal action being taken by the US Government against a major trainig agency.
We are planning to not just learn from the mistakes made but to implement procedures to ensure that the causes are fully understood.
