With RAID, You Know What You’re Getting…
AND YOU CAN TELL US WHAT YOU GOT We’ve really tried hard to let divers know exactly what to expect from a RAID class… from an entry-level, open water diver whose adventure is just starting, all the way to a CCR cave diver exploring the darkness 100 metres deep. It starts with FREe-Learning. FREe-Learning opens access to every RAID manual in our library. (Just to be clear, that includes core programs, freediving courses, recreational, DM, Instructor, technical… everything: even the end of chapter quizzes.) And yes, it’s free, and you’re invited! And, not only is it free, it’s ultra convenient too because if you like what you see, the online system lets you pick a local RAID dive centre and sign up for the class on the spot. {LINK} But, all that aside, we also try hard to make sure you (every student for every class in fact) get value for your time and money. At the end of a RAID class, there is a short questionnaire. It lists the skills required by our class standards, and asks if all of them were covered in the class. It’s a basic quality assurance to make sure you got what you paid for. The final piece is an online logbook for each student to log their dives. Certainly, logging the dives associated with the class they just finished, but the app is available anytime for any dive. RAID is about skill-based learning… AKA competency-based learning. We put strong emphasises the importance of practical skills and diver competence throughout a student’s long-term development with the agency. RAID goes beyond traditional knowledge-based learning, which primarily focuses on theory and information retention. Our approach aims to create divers who are committed, confident, and comfortable. That’s The RAID Way™ and that’s our promise.
