MLML Diver Training .

The links on this page will lead you to slide shows that contain course content described below. If you are taking a course for the first time you will go over these slides in detail during the classroom portion of the course. After the lecture you will have time to practice the skills before being given a hands-on practical exam. This will be followed by a written test.

If you are attending a recertification course you are responsible for going over the material contained in the slide show and refreshing your knowledge of the material prior to the day of the class. You are responsible for bringing any questions on the material to class.  The recertification course will consist of a brief overview of the material, a demonstration of skills by the instructor followed by the hands-on practical exam, and a written test. You will find it difficult to pass either the hands-on practical or the written test for recertification without reviewing in detail the slide shows containing course material prior to attending class.
