IDSA QUALIFICATION CARD (Q-Card)
We see a lot cards/diplomas that are not controlled by IDSA. To be sure of the right qualifications we have our rules for issuing and checking the correct IDSA Q-Card. We would like to inform you as follows.
IDSA training and exams can only be done by our full member schools. They can ask the IDSA office to issue an IDSA Q-card.
The Full Members are asked to use the IDSA Application Form. https://form.jotformeu.com/73481624526358
This qualification card (is a credit card size) will tell that the Diver has fulfilled and completed the training as to the IDSA standards.
All IDSA Q-Cards can be check on the IDSA website:
Search the Register (idsaworldwide.org)
You must fill in the date of birth and the certificate number to check if this is correct.
All cards issued are registered but it will be possible that some cards issued before 2016 will not be shown up, they can be requested for verification with the IDSA office. When you have any doubt or see falsification of the IDSA Q-Card please advise us on post2@idsaworldwide.org.
For avoiding misunderstandings Associate Members are not allowed to refer to IDSA Standards on their own diploma’s and/or own creditcard certificates.
