Three Ways to Register a Student
Partners, instructors and students each have their own entry point — all paths converge into the same e-certification approval flow.
Fill student & certification details
Name, photo, date of birth, cert level, certifying instructor and training facility.
Choose how to handle payment
Each form offers payment options; available choices depend on the route.
Register unpaid
Create the e-cert now; payment is handled later.
Pay online now
Base44 Payments secure checkout — registered as paid once confirmed.
Request invoice
Invoice request sent to ITDA-IHMP HQ for offline payment.
Certification created — status: pending
A unique cert ID and QR code are generated and held for admin review.
Admin reviews & approves
Admin verifies the details and approves the certificate in the admin portal.
Email sent to diver & instructor
Both the diver and the listed instructor receive a confirmation email with a verification link.
Certification active + QR verification
The certificate is active. Anyone can scan the QR or visit the verify page to confirm it in real time.
- Pending until confirmed: a full certification stays in a pending state until your instructor confirms your practical assessment as passed, and ITDA-IHMP HQ is informed.
- Staged option (Part 1): you can complete the theory and quiz online first and receive an instant Participation Certification as your theory-level pass. Theory completion is required before the in-water assessment, and you then have up to 6 months to complete Part 2, the practical assessment.
- Both parts required for full certification: your certifying instructor or trainer must see both parts completed at pass level before a full certification is issued. Alternatively you can take both parts together with your instructor, who then issues the certification directly after completion.
- Exceptions: IHMP First Aid programs and some ITDA Academy theory-only specialist programs may not require a practical assessment.
- Processing time: usually within 24 hours after course completion.
