UK HSE Standards
ITDA were orginally approved in 2005 after an audit from UK-HSE and we rewrote many UK standards in order to gain approval for our Sports Diving and Professional programs... We have maintained our status since with annual updates and compliance with UK HSE Diving regulations... Which also includes EU Directives... Due to BREXIT we now operate in Europe with training partners on a Country by Country basis. (From our Businesses in UK. Spain and soon EIRE / IRELAND)...
Please NOTE after Brexit things may change with ITDA UK and being a part of ITDA Europe.... Watch this space for updates... We are looking at forming a corporation in Ireland to meet the new fast growing needs of our expanding E.U. business... Plus we have introduced a move to expanding our unique ITDA membership programs and New academic programs with Higher Education partners in the EU and UK from Sept. 2024
