“SDI is always looking for ways to make YOUR life easier,” said Cris Merz, National Sales Manager for the SDI, TDI, ERDI family of training agencies. Merz, addressing a group of SDI retailers, was introducing them to the new SDI Dive Leader Record Folder during a workshop hosted earlier this month promoting SDI’s brand new printed materials and onLine Academics for Divemaster, Assistant Instructor and Open Water Instructor.
The newly designed four-page training record folder is designed for recording dive leader training and to help training staff maintain all of the required dive leader candidate paperwork for each level of dive leader training including SDI Divemaster, SDI Assistant Instructor and SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor.
“It’s a small item,” quipped Merz. “But we have had a lot of feedback from retailers telling us that this new folder is a much-needed addition to our catalogue and a boon for helping to tame and organize the paperwork required for leadership courses.”
Merz explained that the folder is similar to those formerly available for non-leadership students; but with an important difference.
“At the bottom of the back page is a checklist of items that must be sent in for processing of the dive leader candidate. It’s a nice little checklist,” he said. “And in addition, pages one and four are designed to be photocopied and sent along with any other required paperwork copies for processing; making life a little bit easier for leadership instructors.”
The original folder is to be retained by the facility but is the property of SDI, the folder would only be requested for purposes of a quality assurance investigation or an accident. If the student comes back for additional training programs they are required to complete a new medical screening questionnaire and waiver/release which should be placed in the original folder.
Having all of this important information in one place, easily accessible increases the risk management aspects of tracking required paperwork and greatly saves the instructor valuable time on the administrative side.
The record folder is designed to record additional training and is available now by quoting part # 220300.
