How the Training Works

• Digital Learning & Academics: SSI has mastered the use of digital technology to make your learning experience easy. You can start by studying the professional academics anytime, anywhere at your own convenience, and your selected Training Center will schedule your master-level reviews and in-water evaluation sessions.
• Professional In-Water Training: During your pool/confined water and open water sessions, you will refine your demonstration skills and practice evaluating candidate presentations in a real-world environment under the direct supervision of an Instructor Trainer.
• Certification: Once you have completed all required training sessions, candidate evaluation modules, and your final examination, your SSI Training Center will issue your digital certification card, which will show up instantly on your MySSI App.
