Vocational Training and 'toolkits'


Are you one of the thousands of people who can't get into university this year? Maybe you've finished university and you can't get a job? Why not use your time constructively and train to become a scuba diving professional?

In as little as 4 to 10 weeks you could obtain a Divemaster license. This would enable you to work as a dive guide and supervise instructors around the world. It's a professional qualification that lasts a lifetime (although you must ensure your membership remains active if you intend to work) and you can use it throughout your life.

A step up from Divemaster is Instructor. If you really are finding it hard to find a job in the UK, maybe it's time to get away from it all and train in something new?! In as little as 7 to 15 weeks you could be a fully trained Scuba Instructor earning money working overseas.

If you're looking for a vocational toolkit to use around the world, please read about becoming a Divemaster or our Dive Management and Scuba Instructor Traineeships
