The PIE is of approximately half a day duration and is an assessment of practical teaching ability in Open Water.  Performance in practical teaching in the Open Water is assessed by the presentation of a 45-minute practical lesson in the open water.  Following successful completion of the PIE, if the student holds a pass in the Theory Knowledge examination paper, they will be awarded the BSAC Practical Instructor certificate that allows them to teach practical skills unsupervised.
Successful completion of all elements of the TIE & PIE will lead to the award of the BSAC Open Water Instructor grade
