BSAC welcomes three new National Instructors

BSAC has welcomed three new National Instructors to the team, following their successful assessment on the Isle of Man.

Craig Daniel, Ali Gaudion and Michelle Haywood were put through their National Instructor (NI) paces during the four-day final assessment and have now been awarded BSAC’s highest instructor qualification.

Each year, BSAC offers suitably qualified members the opportunity to undertake the National Instructor course and join the ranks of NIs who lead and develop BSAC training and delivery around the country and overseas. The qualification is BSAC’s highest instructor grade with a total of 280 BSAC members holding the NI qualification to date. 

The annual exam assesses candidates’ instructional and leadership skills across 23 separate areas, including evaluating an individual’s determination and agility when faced with a host of challenges.

This year’s assessment took place in mid-August, where Ali, Craig and Michelle were put through their paces under the watchful eye of BSAC's senior instructor team.

BSAC’s National Diving Officer, Sophie Rennie, offered her wholehearted congratulations to the three new National Instructors:

Fantastic news! The commitment required of individuals to prepare for and be successful in the National Instructor examination should not be underestimated.

Credit to all participating candidates on this year’s exam on their achievement, and the BSAC National Instructor family now welcomes Ali, Craig and Michelle into the fold.
