How to register a student
A simple step-by-step workflow for instructors, trainers, and training partners to register students and issue ITDA-IHMP e-certifications.
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.
- Step 2
Look up or enter student details
If the student pre-registered online, type their email and hit Lookup — it auto-fills name, photo, DOB, contact, medical and training statements. Otherwise fill in the fields manually: full name, certification level, issue date, email, phone, date of birth, and a passport-style photo.
Trainers can add up to 10 specialist qualifications on the same step.
- Step 3
Complete the medical statement
The student answers the medical questions and provides an emergency contact. If any answer is Yes, they must elaborate. The student then signs (full name) and accepts the declaration.
- Step 4
Complete the training statement & consent
The student answers the training statements, signs, and accepts the declaration. Verification consent must be granted — this is the data release that allows the certification to appear on the public verification register.
Without consent, the certificate cannot be published for verification.
- Step 5
Review & choose payment
Review the summary cards (Medical, Training, Consent), then choose how to handle the e-certification fee:
Register unpaid
Create the e-cert now; payment handled later.
Pay online now
Secure checkout — registered as paid once confirmed.
Request invoice
Invoice request sent to ITDA-IHMP HQ for offline payment.
A partner coupon code can be applied when paying online.
- Step 6
Confirmation & admin approval
A unique cert ID and QR code are generated (status: pending). An admin reviews and approves the record, then both the diver and instructor receive an email with a verification link. The certificate is now active and verifiable by QR scan or the verify page.
