First, we explore the Foundations and Frameworks. You will gain an overview of the course objectives, become familiar with core IMCA  design documents,  and inspection types, and learn how to use diving system inspection checklists,  and other essential safety tools. 

Proper planning is absolutely fundamental to a successful diving system inspection and audit.  To get it right, you first need a rock-solid understanding of the Terms of Reference, —both what they are, and exactly what needs to be included in them.  We’ll be diving deep into those aspects during this module. 

In this Module, you are going to look at the key points of what is the status of the code.   Where are the boundaries that this code, and in fact all of IMCA documentation comes into practice. 

Our ultimate goal is to conduct a fair, objective, and effective audit that drives continuous improvement, and adds real value to the organization.  To achieve this, we anchor our approach in four core pillars: Integrity, Objectivity, Competence, and Professionalism.

In this lesson, we will explore the various types of design audits, and examine how to practically utilize the corresponding DESIGN documents.

This module is all about mastering the art and science of professional report writing. As you can see from our module outline, we have structured this journey into seven key sections designed to take you from a blank page to a polished, high-impact document.
