Bracknell Sub Aqua Club

   

BSAC regional training


BSAC run so many different dive training courses that it would be impossible to run every one of them in-house. Whilst we we run a wide range of courses within our club, they may not always be running at a time that suits you or we may not be running the particular course that interests you. For this reason each BSAC region has its own training team running courses which full BSAC diving members may attend.

Bracknell Sub Aqua Club is on the edge of the Southern Region and South East Region. Full diving members of our club may book on any of the BSAC training courses regardless of BSAC region so long as they satisfy the minimum entry requirements advertised for each course.

Members usually opt to attend courses within their own region to minimise distance of travel but there may be circumstances when a course run in a different area might suit you better. Most courses take place at weekends but some may be offered as evening or midweek events.

Details of all regional Skills Development Courses and Instructor Training courses can be found in the BSAC events programme and also on individual regional web sites, so please click on the links below.

Regional Skills Development Course events

Skill Development Courses are scheduled by the regional BSAC Coaching Teams. Each candidate will be issued with a student pack containing course notes and will have their attendance recorded on a database at BSAC HQ and students will receive certification for their qualification record books.

To enrol on a course, it is best to use the region's own online booking facility. Alternatively, contact the appropriate Skill Development Course organiser by email or telephone. For details of dates and venues, visit the BSAC website or the events schedule.
