Molchanovs Online Instructor Courses

Online Assessment Requirements:

• You need to have internet access, fast and stable enough for a video chat.
• You need a quiet space (to facilitate the conversation with your IT) and enough room to step back from the camera so that your whole body is in the picture.
• Your video device must be positioned in a way that you can get up / sit down and practically demonstrate exercises with your hands free. Smart phones are thus only suitable if properly mounted on a tripod.

In this online version of the Wave 2 Instructor Crossover, you do not have to demonstrate open water teaching assessments and performance requirements immediately.

To become a Wave 2 Instructor, you will need to:

• demonstrate all open water teaching and performance requirements to a Molchanovs IT anytime within one year of the course start.
• or provide adequate video footage showing you demonstrating these requirements

Video Footage must be in reasonable quality and resolution and must be unedited, especially without any cuts! It is up to you to provide video footage which allows the IT to assess in detail your proficiency in the demonstrated skill, e.g.

• Footage of yourself demonstrating DNF should show you a) exactly horizontal from the side and also b) horizontally from behind, so the IT can make a fair assessment of your technique.
• Footage from a deep dive should show you throughout every phase of the dive, including your turn at the bottom, and a view of your dive computer back at the surface to show the achieved depth and dive time. To get a whole dive into the picture depends greatly on the visibility of the water and might be challenging for the camera person. Please do not forget that the camera person also needs a safety diver.

By passing the teaching requirements and providing video footage of your pool performance requirements you will be awarded a Lap 2 Instructor Level.
