What is FREe-Learning?

It is a unique innovation that makes available to everyone – from non-divers to instructor-trainers – every level of our online academics and quizzes for FREE. RAID has opened its extensive library of course materials to anyone who wants to browse. So, you can check out your next course NOW.

How FREe-Learning Works

The list of course previews available to YOU is a smart list… it shows every course that you haven’t already taken. So, if you are a new RAID tribe member, you have more than 110 free courses to choose from. Once you have registered, you’ll see your personalized list on your homepage. To start reading any course that interests you, simply click on it. There are no restrictions.

Browse the best in the business at your own pace

RAID are the online-learning experts – technology is how we roll – our online learning system was the first fully online system in the industry and remains the market leader. The benefit to you is unlimited access to the best online academics available. Each course is presented in a series of easy-to-understand, exciting chapters, at the end of each chapter there is a short quiz to gauge your understanding of the basic concepts and rules of diving. When you’ve completed each quiz, the system retains a record of your answers. This prepares you to go diving with your instructor. If when working through the quizzes, you get any quiz wrong ten times, the quiz will lock. Please contact your allocated RAID Dive Center to ask for it to be opened again. FREe-Learning is a concept that can be used at any time or when normal training schedules cannot be completed. This could be due to a seasonal restriction (winter), travel restrictions or temporary financial restrictions.

Working with a Dive Centre or Professional

Not only can you participate in the program independently online, but if you allocate a dive center and instructor, you and your instructor (at their discretion) may complete (either in-person or using an audiovisual platform):

Quiz reviews
Any relevant instructor-led academic presentations (PowerPoint).
Evaluation of academic presentations
Any relevant dry workshops

Dive Center and Instructor fees may apply.

When you are ready to finish your training, your instructor will open the complete course so you can achieve certification.

Steps To Earn Full Certification

Access to the entire online course (this does not include any fees that the dive center will charge for the training dives) can be purchased through the scuba online store or RAID Freediving online store can be provided by your dive center when you decide to complete your training.

With a passing score you can proceed with practical training elements delivered by an instructor.
