1: INTRODUCTION.

1.1 Aims and Principles

The aim of this course is to assess the ability of the candidates under four headings:

(a) Suitability as an examiner.

(b) The ability to organise a test.

(c) The ability to fairly assess a candidate?s performance.

(d) Co-operation with other Moniteurs as a member of a jury

This course is a compulsory course for Instructors * (Moniteurs *) wishing to proceed to the

level of Instructor ** (Moniteur **). It may be taken any time after the Instructor * certificate is

awarded, but must be satisfactorily completed before a newly qualified Instructor * is allowed to

act as a Trainee Juror on Leading Diver, Instructor * , Rescue Diver or Diver Cox'n Exams.

The basic principle underlying this course is that each participant should rehearse and develop the

skills required to develop candidates for C.F.T. exams.

1.2 Assessment

A jury of Leading Instructors (Moniteurs ***), or Instructors ** who have successfully completed

the Juror Training Course, in the ratio of I juror to two candidates, will oversee this course. A Jury

President will be nominated by the National Diving Officer. The jurors will assess the performance

of each candidate and contribute to all briefing and debriefing sessions. Each candidate will receive a

full assessment of their performance and an individual debrief at the end of the course. Candidates

who do not perform adequately under the four categories listed in 1.1 above will be asked to repeat

the course. It is intended that self-assessment by candidates will also play an important role.

1.3 Prerequisites

(l) Candidates should hold the Instructor * certificate.

(2) Letter of recommendation from the candidate?s club D.O. stating that he/she has been active

within the club or C.F.T.

(3) The candidate must hold a current Active Diver Certificate.

Wetwork:
The candidate, while on a dive to 20m, will assess another diver carrying out an exercise from the

current C.F.T. set of courses. For example a skill from the current ?Rescue Diver? course, or

indeed any skill from the current list of courses.

The candidate will discuss the exercise & allocate a mark, this mark should agree, within reason,

with the experienced juror?s assessment, if the candidate is to pass.

2.2

Lecture
The candidate will assess a lecture, of 15 mins. duration, using the marking sheet from the

Instructor?s Handbook.

The candidate will take part in a discussion of the lecture & allocate a mark for same. Again, this

mark must coincide with the experienced Jurors assessment, if the candidate is to pass.

2.3

Written Work
The candidate will assess the written answers from an Instructor * (Moniteur *) paper, in other

words ?correct? a paper. A full discussion will take place & a mark will be allocated to the paper.

Again, this mark will coincide with the Jurors assessment, if the candidate is to pass.

3: ORGANISATION:

The course will run for a full day & proper safety procedures will be observed throughout the

course.
