I know which i believe! ***If a person has met the prerequisite experience and knowledge he will be eligiable for an IEC. At all IEC's the requirements for all instructor levels are covered plus each instructor has a set of standards which spell the requirements out. > >If policy varies from country to country, perhaps the policy could be published ***policy is the same as published here on the net three times now Jullian, what is your problem I would think adminstering your own agency would be sufficient to keep ypou occupied, in fact if there really are dissatified persons it is to your advantage. tm >so people know if the ladder has been pulled up in their country? > >Of course if IANTD do not recognise other agencies then that is their decision, >but i understood from Tom Mount that crossovers were acceptable.

They certainly do not seem to be a problem at the lower >levels. > *** We offer crossocers to all who are equally qualified as those who attend out IEC's that is regardless of level of certification they must still have the same prerequisite experience level and then they can demonstrate their skills and knowledge by completion of a crossove IEC. If they do not have adequate experience as per our standards then they cannot attend a crtossover until their experience level is per our prerequisite requirements. tm >Do people get told how long it will take to get to trimix instructor?

We must maintain our standards and we do. those who meet the requirements may advance within IANTD or crossover from any agency. But no rubber stamp crossovers such as some agencies do. We have a responsibility to the diving public to insure our minimum standards are met, and they are quite reasonable in reference to the degree of responsibility and the safety involves as a trimix instructor.
