PLEASE NOTE: Everyone new to Certification must complete both theory & practical assessment to be become fully qualified. Whether you complete home study, virtual or onsite training and education the examination process is the same. Exams should be completed within 6 months of onsite training date or receipt of home study materials. We do assess late fees for each part of the exam submitted after 6 months. There are unlimited re-writes available for each part of the examination process.
How to Complete the Theory Exam Process: Please email us to let us know what you need
Option 1: request a link to our online google doc multiple choice theory exam (multiple choice) + submit a 45-60 minute exam.
Option 2: request open ended question exam + submit a 45-60 minute exam.
All options are open book but must be completed individually. All options require you to submit a written 45-60 minute lesson plan.
How to Complete the Practical Assessment:
Option 1:Practical Assessment via Onsite or Virtual video session with a Certified Master Trainer: involves the candidates preparing a 30 minute program via Facetime, Zoom, Skype or Goggle Meet video conferencing. Please send a 30 minute program for review. Our goal is to help you become successful so if you write out a safe, effective and enjoyable program – you are well on your way!
Option 2 : Request a Google link when you are ready to upload a lesson plan and video file(s) (in MOV or MP4 files). The practical video may be done via several file uploads; however, you will need to label each file in a proper order so that the assessor may easily follow your presentation. Please film your practical video at the lowest or smallest quality file size (most compact file). You may upload up to 5 sections of video at 10 GB each and use the link as many times as you like. We recommend filming each part separately and then uploading in order. Be sure to review your video submission. We need to be able to see you and hear you clearly and you dont need a group to teach – you pretend to teach a class. You do not need a pool for water certificiations – you simulate what you would do on deck.
