 - A certified "Scuba Instructor - Level 1" is qualified to teach and assess scuba students up to level 1 on their theoretical knowledge ...
 - ... and to teach and assess scuba students up to level 1 in confined water.
The European Standard EN 14413 consists of the following parts:
EN 14413-1, Recreational Diving Services - Safety related minimum requirements for the training of scuba instructors ? Part 1: Level 1
EN 14413-2, Recreational Diving Services - Safety related minimum requirements for the training of scuba instructors ? Part 2: Level 2
The requirements specified are minima; they do not preclude the provision of additional training or the assessment by a service provider of additional competencies. The above mentioned European Standards represent a tool for comparison of existing (or future) qualifications of scuba instructors. In no way do they represent a course programme nor do they imply that course programs and scuba instructor certifications issued by different organisations must necessarily correspond to these levels.
