Theory You learn to act competently and to collaborate safely within the dive team. You follow the theory in the national ELO (online learning environment) of the RI-NIPV. In addition, you practise via the question bank in our MemoTrainer app, which ensures that you retain the theory longer and better — even up to a year after the training. Practice You learn the practical side at our training centre on the Markermeer, with a dive tower and dive pit, or on request on location in the region. You learn to act safely and responsibly during both emergency and non-emergency situations, and you practise scenarios involving time pressure, stress and unexpected complications. Portfolio Throughout the training you are observed and you receive feedback on your attitude and conduct, based on the competencies from the Brandweerduiker qualification dossier of the RI-NIPV.

After successfully passing the examination, you are registered via the Registration Institute (RI) RI-NIPV in the Register duikarbeid brandweer en politie (RDB, the register for fire-brigade and police diving work); the exam fees are determined by the RI-NIPV and charged separately.
