About the Course


Within at least 9 full days candidates are trained to teach AIDA Freediving Courses (AIDA2 & AIDA3). The classroom sessions cover a variety of topics such as planning, marketing and running courses, teaching skills and theory, legal requirements and risk management.


Water sessions are used to complete performance requirements, teaching skill and demonstrations. As a part of their IC, candidates teach trial course sessions AIDA 2 and 3 under supervision of their Instructor Trainer. One month prior to their IC applicants receive studying materials as well as a topic of their own research which they will present during the IC as one of the practical exams.
