Sign off your lessons with MyBSAC app
DEVELOPED IN CONSULTATION WITH instructors and members , the latest BSAC app release has some exciting additions , including new training sign-off functionality for instructors .
Qualified BSAC instructors can now use the MyBSAC app to look up students , leave comments , and sign off lessons at the touch of a button - no paperwork required .
An additional ‘ Training ’ tab in the navigation now links to the BSAC training programme of diver grades , which is broken down into individual lessons . Training completed by a student online through BSAC eLearning can also now be checked instantly .
Records are secure and only accessible to other BSAC instructors , wherever they ’ re based across the world .
BSAC Head of Diving and Training , Dom Robinson , says the new way of recording lessons will not be compulsory for clubs .
“ The MyBSAC app does not prevent instructors from also completing paper training records for students . However , we do hope that all clubs doing diver grade training will see the benefits and adopt it .
“ You will not be reliant on members not losing ( or always bringing with them ) their Qualification Record Books ( QRBs ). Plus Branch Officers with access will be able to view member training progression in the Club Management System .
“ The updated app demonstrates BSAC ’ s commitment to digital processes , as well as improving the training experience for students and dive professionals who qualify with us .”
Although the digital QRB has been designed to be simple to use , BSAC has also created a video , FAQs and a guide on the website to help instructors install and use the app correctly .
Dom Robinson adds : “ There ’ s more to come ! The latest MyBSAC app release is just one step on the journey of constant improvements , following member feedback . We ’ ll notify you of these exciting changes later in the year .”
The latest MyBSAC app release is available now on the Apple Store and Google Play . We ’ re aware of a small number of users who experience problems with the App . These can normally be resolved by deleting / reinstalling ( iOS ) or clearing the App cache ( Android ). You can learn more at bsac . com / mybsacapp
