Who is allowed to teach NAUI Leadership courses?

The appropriate individuals permitted to teach NAUI Leadership courses are those who hold active status as NAUI instructors and meet the specific leadership teaching requirements established by NAUI. This ensures that instructors not only possess the necessary qualifications to teach but also have a comprehensive understanding of the leadership principles and practices that are essential for effective instruction in diving.

By requiring instructors to fulfill leadership teaching requirements, NAUI maintains high standards for its educational programs, ensuring that those teaching leadership courses are well-prepared to impart relevant knowledge and skills to their students. This approach enhances the quality of training and upholds the integrity of the NAUI teaching framework.

Other options, such as all diving instructors or solely those with a diving background, do not meet the stringent criteria set forth by NAUI, as leadership requires specialized training and expertise beyond general diving instruction. Similarly, restricting teaching roles to only NAUI Executive Directors would limit the pool of qualified instructors and is not aligned with NAUI's teaching structure.
