DAN Instructors are scuba diving educators who want to offer dive safety programs to their students. To become a DAN Instructor, you must participate in a DAN Instructor Qualification Course (IQC). The IQC follows a modular format. There is a Core Module and then a separate module representing each training program. The Core Module of the DAN Instructor Qualification Course is a required step to becoming a DAN Instructor. Before participating in the course, you should complete this online training module. You will need to complete the exam at the end and present the printed certificate to your Trainer.
