Certification Process

Institute schedules courses depending upon the requests from the trainees/ sponsoring agencies. With minimum of 12 participants, a sponsoring agency can request for respective course(s).

The aspirant of any sporting course (except repair and maintenance) conducted by the Institute is required to be a good swimmer first. They should be medically fit as well and a certificate to this regard from a registered medical practitioner is required to be produced at the time of admission. The commencement date of the course is informed to the trainee well in time.  

Caution:  The candidate shall ensure his physical/ medical fitness before deposit of fees since the course fees once deposited is not refundable.  

The courses as shown in “Course Details” are conducted in accordance to the standards set by the international sporting agencies. Each course follows a stage-by-stage process of assessment. Performance of trainees is evaluated at every stage and the certificate and license are awarded to only to those qualifying in all training modules. The module(s) in which trainee has not attained required grade is informed about it and the reasons thereof. At the end of training, overall performance is briefed in a joint session. Those trainees did not achieve the certification grade-level are advised to practice sufficiently and until required standard is achieved. Afterwards, such trainee can approach the Institute for ‘Re-test’.  

Re-Test

Re-test is meant to ensure that the trainee is fully qualified for awarding the license and certificate. The Re-test provision is valid for three-month period only and it is counted from the last day of the said training. The request in this effect should be expressed in writing to the Institute in advance and before mandatory three-month period. Any claim afterwards will be treated as null and void.

It would be full responsibility of the trainee to contact the Institute for seeking a date for re-test and the Institute shall, in no way, be responsible for any failure on the part of trainee in doing so.

However, if a course of similar nature was not scheduled by the Institute in the stipulated three-month period, request of the trainee will be considered for the next immediate course only.

A maximum of two chances are given to the trainee for ‘re-test’. Any attempt beyond this would be chargeable, and @ Rs. 500/- per attempt. Needless to state, the three-month validity period for re-test will remain unchanged.

Validity of Certification

The license and certificate issued to successful trainees are valid only for two-years only. In order to ensure higher-level of operational efficiency and safety standards, the license Holder has to undergo a revalidation process of one/two day duration in every two-years and renewal of the license is made accordingly. Institute will charge a nominal fee of Rs. 800/- towards re-validation of each license. Required fee is to be deposited before registration.

 It may be noted that it would be full responsibility of the Holder to request the Institute in writing along with a copy of license about the renewal well before the expiry date. After finalizing the schedule, Institute shall inform him the schedule accordingly. No request for re-validation will be accepted after expiry of the license and certificate date, and the same shall be treated as invalid and void. Use of license and certificate after expiry date is illegal and shall invite penal action from appropriate Authorities.

Under no circumstance, Institute will be responsible to or binding upon informing any Holder about the re-validation due date. It would be summarily their responsibility.
