ISR Tuition
The certification fees for ISR are based more than 40 years of research and development to refine the self-rescue technique that can safely teach babies and young children how to survive an accidental water encounter. The education and training for your ISR career is unprecedented. There is no other swimming program that offers such in-depth, hands-on training, safety protocols and academic development. During the training you will learn all of the specialized methods and techniques necessary to safely teach self-rescue and other swimming skills to babies and young children.
Your certification qualifies you to teach virtually anywhere in the world. It is a rare business opportunity that allows you to work as much or as little as you are willing; to travel or to stay in your own community; to utilize your skills wherever your family or life circumstances may dictate; and to make a difference to the lives of little children and their families.
Financing
The tuition for the ISR training is $15,000.00; the investment for training and certification covers 50 hours of in-water work along with academic development and study sessions. For qualified individuals ISR offers a limited number of training scholarships, flexible financing options, and is approved by the Veteran Administration for grants. Your ISR representative can provide you with further information on these programs if necessary.
A low-interest loan for our tuition is available from AB Finance Partners, LLC. Once you have had an opportunity to speak with a Training Specialist and have completed the first steps of the interview process, you can request access to the AB Finance secured site.
For your convenience ISR- Instructor Development, LLC will accept Visa and Master Card for all or a portion of the tuition.
The Veterans Administration has approved a grant for payment of the tuition and various start-up costs for qualifying “disabled” veterans.
