At sea, the traditional environment for diving activities (sport, amateur and recreation), the training MUST dispel the recreation aspects and present the sea itself as an effective WORKING AMBIENT.

Ambient in which the technical skill already acquired in so many practical training sessions in lake and turret must be expressed by means of professional competence to be shown in future towards the entrepreneurial category, expecting - out of assumption habit extending itself over 39 years of training activities at the School itself - the kind of high working performance offering the necessary guaranties of employment.

The entrepreneurial category knowing extremely well that the School selects and gives to all the students/candidate-workers the necessary theoretical/application notions, the knowledge of technologies and operative protocols oriented on accident-prevention, the psychological and technical training, application through detailed information with particular regard for the risks presented by underwater activity, guarantees even more an absolute security, well appreciated by the category itself.

The technical skills the student is going to show during the sea-training period, always referred to the psycho-physical and technical application already acquired by the student himself during the foregone practical training (swimming pool, lake, turret, a.s.o.) are - the School reckons - the basis of the test which, already studied by virtue of specific knowledge and practical experiences ripened by the School's managerial staff in over 30 years of working activity, will allow the Diver Technician to get the practical experience connected with the objective reality of working life, performed in a regular underwater activities' yard, activities covering the entire range normally used by the utmost majority of the sector's firms operating on national and worldwide level.

The instrumental use is instead of secondary importance, considering the handiness of the traditional tools, although contemplated in the normal instruction programs of the School. Those of particular use, varying from firm to firm, are normally matter of "internal courses" of company-specializing character.

All the students must therefore feel their responsibilities as active and participating parties in the resolution of underwater problems or issues of medium and high psycho-physical and technical engagement, expressing the already gained professional skills during the training stage.

On the other side, such a participatory aptitude is of course a further training-maturation and a treasuring of experience the student will benefit of in practical and real situations, lived in very hard conditions, but with the help of an extreme psycho-physical and technical application advantage.

Into the same objective reality of working problems and methodologies, applied by whatever firm operating in this particular sector in Italy and abroad, allowing to claim that the School itself is the WORKPLACE or that the workplace itself is SCHOOL.

The courses' activities will be counterpointed by more or less lasting daily breaks, under the sun or on supporting craft boats, partially or totally equipped, in the discharge of those executive tasks that will be determined, one by one, by the Course's Direction.

The thermal aspect and the boring situations, patience connected with fatigue, could wear down the Diver Technician's psychological and physical resilience. He could be requested to perform his operative task in every moment of the day, and respond to it appealing to his psycho-physical and experiential store of knowledge, already gained during the practical experience at the School. The School calls this adaptation-operative performance and application technique PROFESSIONALITY.

As in any other case, even in this particular one, the training skill gained during the psycho-physical enhancement training stage will play a role of utmost importance, just like the training on physical fatigue and on the technical resolution of operative tests.

The working activities at the dockyard or port or haven, the most recurrent in the professional activity of a Technical Diver, are obviously even less attractive, considering the particular environmental characteristics.

To work in such a natural environment, the utmost psycho-physical and technical aptitude efficiency is requested to the candidate, who must be specifically trained in such operative environments, if he's going to be provided with the necessary skills of environmental adaptation of basically psychological kind, to which all the experts in this particular sector attach fundamental importance in terms of risk-prevention.

The technical-operative training must therefore be oriented on professional fitting of the elements above, with the only purpose of an utmost operative efficiency and knowledge of all the accident-prevention norms which are going to be brought about.

The achievement of such a training-goal - one of the principal aims of the School since the very beginning of the training courses, being well aware that the resulting professional level will be much higher than any level requested by the utmost majority of the firms within the national and European Community sector - should be the minimum competence level, allowing the student to operate in absolute respect of the hygiene and security norms.

This allows the School to claim with fully justified pride and far from any possible contradiction, that its training activity permitted and permits today the concrete realization of one of the most important purposes of the School itself - taking shape in the professional outlet of so many young workers.

The Sea closes the practical training cycle begun in swimming pool and continued in lake and turret. The sum of the points of those practical tests will bring (or not) to the ADMISSION to the Final Examination, to be carried out facing a regional "Course-End Examining Board", for the gaining (or not) of the PROFESSIONAL STATUS of Technical Diver Operator.
