Our IMCA Diver Medic Technician course is internationally approved

IMCA Diver Medic Technician

Description

While offshore diving, there is a requirement that one member of a dive team who is not diving, other than a supervisor, should be trained in advanced first aid—generally referred to as a ‘diver medic’. This nationally recognised IMCA Diver Medic course will ensure the medic has all the necessary skills and knowledge to manage any situation.

This programme has been awarded OCN Credit for Learning level 3. This not only gives students a nationally recognised course but with university credits. It is also ELCAS approved for MOD personnel.
