The experience of numerous diving instructors continuously transformed into innovative digital teaching technologies.
The structure of the PSS course theory modules is the result of a design for an "in-house" digital teaching system. Students study using a system that can be quickly used digitally and that allows them to manage their time and organize their studies according to their needs. The theory part of the PSS courses is divided into numerous teaching modules, each with study times not exceeding 20 minutes, accessible both on and off-line using any device. In this way it is possible to complete an entire module wherever you are and in the time you have available.
In a system designed for digital learning, the videos are not used as teaching aids to simply assist the instructor during the lessons. In the PSS educational system, the videos have been designed to be an integral part of elearning. Their content covers the entire course program and provides clear and detailed explanations of the theoretical notions, replacing the physical presence of the instructor. For example, there are 59 videos for the Open Water Diver course related just to the theory modules, for a total duration of more than 3 hours.
Teaching and practicing diving is not the same in every part of the world and we at PSS are well aware of this. Elearning study alone is therefore not enough, but must be integrated with "local" information. What type of equipment is used locally? What laws or national and local regulations affect diving activities? In order to integrate this information the PSS e-Training system constructs corrective lessons, available through "virtual classrooms", so that the instructor can verify learning and integrate all the "local" aspects of diving.
You can access the system and study your diving course whenever you want and using any device (computer, tablet, smartphone);
You can also study offline using the "my Evo" app.
The EVO system can automatically provide you with help to improve your score on intermediate tests.
You can follow the instructor's online lessons wherever you are, even without being physically present in the classroom.
At any time you can view the overall picture of what you have completed and what you still need to do in order to achieve the qualification of the course you are following.
You can have all the training material of the courses you have attended, in their most updated version, forever.
You can archive all the details of each course, including all the students' documentation.
You can get a complete report of each individual student’s achievements for each course, complete with the student’s digital confirmation signature.
You will always have the updated contacts of all your students.
You can buy and activate instructional kits for students in real time, without the need of a storage area.
With the "e-training" system you can carry out a corrective theory lesson to the students present, in person or connected remotely, without having to first check the tests they have done
You can digitally validate the training dives logged by the students.
You will have the only digital platform for diving centers that allows for the management, administration and instruction of the courses in their entirety.
You will save time and costs managing the work and organizing the training by remotely monitoring the activities of the students and instructors.
There is no need to order training material in advance, as you can immediately buy and use the training kits only when you have sold the course.
You can manage and view all the work developed over the years: courses run for certified students, courses remaining incomplete, all student documentation, including course reports with the student’s digital confirmation signature.
You can find out the qualifications and status of your teaching staff at any time.
No affiliation cost or annual renewal.

Creating digital systems means also providing continuous assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. PSS is the only diver training agency to make an operational multilingual ticketing service always available to divers, professionals and diving centers.
PSS was created more than 25 years ago by experienced instructors convinced that a comprehensive, flexible and technological training system would better meet the needs of divers, instructors and diving centers.
Today PSS trains thousands of divers worldwide every year and offers training programs in 16 languages.
The PSS Worldwide training programs comply with the directives of the European Community (EN standards), the ISO standards (International Organization for Standardization) and those of the RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council).
RSTC membership qualifies the associated organizations, by virtue of common minimum standards, as being "internationally recognized".
PSS Worldwide has established itself internationally as a "pioneer" of important innovations in the field of diving technology and training.
PSS was the first diver training agency in the world to:
Joining PSS means becoming part of a large international community of thousands and thousands of enthusiasts of the underwater world, who you can exchange opinions with, get ideas from, give and ask for advice, share emotions or simply find out about what happens underwater all over the world Join #PSSPEOPLE!
Their products are high quality, easy to use and economical. Plus, their responsiveness to the needs of the students, instructors and dive center owners is truly exceptional.
Being able to study the course material on multiple devices is perfect for students on the go. I started a lesson on my desktop and finished on my mobile phone while on the train. The flow of the lessons are easy to follow and having timed tests adds the extra push needed for the student to stay focused. Well done.
من خلال الخبرة المهنية التي اكتسبتها لأكثر من 20 عامًا في هذا المجال ، لم أحقق مثل هذه النتائج الرائعة مع طلبتي المتدربين. لمست نتائج مبهرة مع الطريقة التي يتم بها تطوير التعليم والمهارات من خلال نظام إيفو الذي يحفز المتدرب على التعامل مع الدرس ورفع كفاءته التحصيلية ، ومن خلال مساحات النقاش في الدروس التصحيحية ، يجد المتدرب مخرجًا صحيًا موجهًا في هذا النظام التعليمي الرائع ، والذي يؤثر بشكل إيجابي على إثراء العملية التعليمية بالكامل. تميز نظام إيفو الشامل في التعامل مع كل ما يتعلق بالدورات التدريبية وعدم الحاجة لاستخدام الأوراق أو البلاستيك حتى مع الدورات المهنية .. نظام إيفو التعليمي هو قمة في التطور .
The PSS EVO e-learning segments were completed prior to our Skype meeting and the web interface was very intuitive. The content was succinct but thorough and all elements of the PSS training went smoothly even with individual challenges that were all resolved effectively and efficiently.
Tras más de 20 años como instructor y pasar por varias formadoras, me costó muy poco convencerme después de probar el sistema de formación EVO de PSS: al momento me di cuenta de que esa era la filosofía que buscaba para formar a mis futuros alumnos. En PSS se vive la unión entre todos sus instructores y sobre todo la satisfacción de saber que siempre están a tu lado.
I'm excited about the opportunities and teaching techniques available through PSS. I have taught through many agencies and activities over the years, but the progressive nature of PSS and the flexible and responsive support to instructors and dive businesses is truly impressive.
All PSS courses, apart from the speciality courses designed by the instructor, are available in the EVO digital format. The PSS courses are always developed first for the EVO system, only later is the "hard copy" alternative (paper manual, DVD, forms, etc.) created - if required.
The EVO system allows the student to study in their own language and the instructor can conduct the corrective lesson in the common language but the system still provides access to both language versions during the lesson.
The EVO course remains active and available forever! The student can repeat the study, download the manuals and videos, repeat the questions at the end of the modules, plus reviewing the updated versions of the same course.
The documents such as medical examination, certifications owned or any forms of the PSS center are loaded by the student in a special “documentation” area and available for management to the instructor and to the center for checks, updating, printing. Only for the instructor or the center can remove uploaded documents.
