Once membership dues are paid, the instructor will be granted full instructor privilege at the level qualified for.5. Instructors moving from one Region to another Region that are under different Licensees, for a period greater than 90 days, must obtain membership in the new Region in order to be on active teaching status in the Region.6. Instructors completing training or crossover courses overseas will be required to demonstrate they are familiar with the environment they will be teaching in. If the instructor qualification was in a similar environment to the one in the native country no evaluation will be made. If the IEC was conducted in an environment differing from the native country an evaluation can be done by reviewing the experience of the instructor in environments similar to the one in the region.7. If the new instructor is not familiar with diving or teaching in the type of environment in the licensed territory they may at the discretion of the licensee be required to complete an environmental acquaintance prior to teaching within their chosen country of operation. This may be as simple as a dive log review or a more comprehensive evaluation such an evaluation dive and environmental Presentations or if warranted co-teaching a portion of a course, or an entire course. The exact option will depend upon the background of the new instructor. This process, if mandated by the Licensee, will be under the direction of an IT assigned by the Licensee themselves.8.
