New article added to the Choosing Equipment Library, detailing the things to consider when purchasing a regulator

We might be closed but behind the scenes the work continues. The van has recently been serviced and has a new MOT, new fire extinguishers installed, and a new safety certificate received and new outside lights ready to be installed.
 
Safety is the cornerstone of all aspects of Dive Rutland. It is something that all divers should embed into ALL dives, by receiving the right training and looking after your dive equipment is important.
 
What is Safety? The definition is the condition of being safe from undergoing or causing hurt, injury, or loss
 
Now is an ideal time to give your dive equipment the once over and make sure all items are working – not sure what to do then save yourself some pennies in the longer run by attending an Equipment Speciality, the theory is via eLearning and then we can do the practical demonstrations remotely or book in for a classroom session later 

We are pleased to announce that the CPD Certification Service has accredited the EFR Primary and Secondary Course for the purpose of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit. 

Our course participants, seeking CPD credit, now have the opportunity to receive a CPD certificate of recognition:-

• EFR Primary and Secondary Course = 6 Hours

Not familiar with the CPD process here are the key features:
CPD is required to

• be documented ( can be through certificate)
• be self-directed; not driven by the employer
• focus on learning from experience, reflective learning and review
• help set development goals and objectives
• include both formal and informal learning

CPD is often a requirement of membership of a professional body. It can help to reflect, review and document learning and to develop and update professional knowledge and skills. It can also serve to:

• provide an overview of professional development to date
• act as a reminder of achievements and progression
• direct a career and help keep focus on goals
• uncover gaps in skills and capabilities
• open up further development needs
• provide examples and scenarios for a CV or interview
• demonstrate professional standing to clients and employers
• help career development or a possible career change

On completion of this course with us here at Dive Rutland we will complete your CPD certification registration for you (on request).

No better time to start learning new skills whilst continuing with your own personal development, so get yourself booked onto a course
