Tec Clark’s newest online course – The Campus Edge – helps dive pros get their diving programmes and services into colleges and universities.
Do you have a college or university near you? Chances are you do! In fact, in the United States alone there are over 4,000 colleges and universities. These institutions not only have amazing facilities, but they have the most eager, adventurous and healthy populations to embrace diving activities – college students. And as a dive professional, your abilities to provide dive training, give equipment recommendations, provide dive supervision, and organize travel are unique skills needed at these institutions.
However, getting your diving programmes and services into colleges and universities is not only challenging, but it may seem impossible. Countless dive professionals have attempted to offer diving programmes at their local college or university and had their proposal rejected by administrators. But Tec Clark aims to change that.
“Most dive professionals pitch their offerings to college and university administrators without understanding the complexities of post-secondary institutions,” states Clark. “Dive professionals need to think and act like university administrators to know what their hot-button issues are, to be in-line with institutional objectives and mission, and to just understand how things get done on college campuses. That’s what this course is all about.”
The Campus Edge: Your Guide to Developing College and University Diving Programs is Tec Clark’s newest online course at ScubaGuruAcademy.com. This course is a result of his 30-plus years experience teaching diving at four universities. Of the four, he managed two of them – University of Florida’s Academic Diving Program, and Nova Southeastern University’s Academic Diving Program – and developed them to be not only award-winning, but to both be in the top three largest university diving programmes in the United States.
