Why Become an Assistant Instructor

How It Works
This course starts with online e-Learning. We step back into the classroom and teach you how to give lessons to students. You prepare lectures and learn how to lead discussions with students. We will also spend at least 2-3 days in confined water. where you will learn how to present and evaluate skills. This course usually takes 5-8 days, depending on how quickly you learn the materials.
