Certification Power
The Basic Outboard IE may be a co-conductor at a Basic Outboard IDP.
The IE must be in attendance during all evaluation components of an IDP. IE’s who have not personally observed a candidate cannot recommend that candidate for certification.
Instructors/IEs must register annually prior to teaching or awarding CYA certifications.
An Instructor/IE Candidate should possess all prerequisites prior to enrolling in a clinic, and must complete all the requirements for certification within four months of the last day of the IDP in which the Instructor Candidate participated.
Recertification is required for all instructor/IE levels within 36 months of the first calendar yearend following the last day of an initial certification, recertification or instructor development clinic as authorized by the CYA LTC/P Committee. During the three year period prior to recertification, the IE must have taught a combination of student and instructor standards or have done significant committee work recognized by the CYA LTC/P Committee.
Recertification is by application to the CYA as per Training Division Policy Manual or by attending an IDP to renew or upgrade Instructor/IE qualifications.
