The SSI Specialty Instructor Training at Dive Rutland is the definitive next step for qualified SSI Instructors looking to expand their teaching portfolio, boost employability, and unlock a wider range of courses for their students. Delivered by our in-house SSI Instructor Trainer Tracey, this programme guides you through the pathways to becoming a Specialty Instructor—whether you choose to attend seminars, gain experience co-teaching with certified instructors, or submit a direct verification application to SSI. As you accumulate specialty ratings, you will automatically progress toward Advanced Open Water Instructor certification, further enhancing your professional credentials and value to dive centres both in the UK and worldwide.
Expanding your specialty instructor ratings is one of the most effective ways to increase your teaching opportunities and stand out in the competitive dive industry. For instructors planning to work in the UK, we strongly recommend building a core set of ratings—Dry Suit, Wreck, Deep, Navigation, and Night & Limited Visibility—that align with the most in-demand local training needs. If you prefer a flexible approach, individual Specialty Instructor eLearning packs allow you to target specific areas at your own pace. Alternatively, the SSI Specialty Instructor Bundle offers exceptional value, giving you five specialty kits for the price of four and accelerating your path to a more versatile, marketable instructing career. Every step of the way, Tracey will work closely with you to ensure your chosen specialties match your goals, your local diving environment, and your long-term career pathway.
If you’re unsure which specialties best suit your goals, contact us and we can help guide you through the best options for your diving and teaching pathway.
Start your journey today and expand your expertise as an SSI Specialty Instructor by working with our very own Instructor Trainer Tracey.
