IMCA Air Diving Supervisor Examination – Recommended Study Material
Summary
IMCA is frequently asked for a study guide to help candidates preparing to sit the IMCA Air Diving Supervisor certification examination.
As part of the recent revision of the IMCA exam system, all IMCA Supervisor and LST exams are now generated from a question bank, ensuring that no two exams are the same. In addition, the exam is now delivered electronically at a nominated exam centre with candidates only viewing one exam question at time.
It would therefore be advantageous for anyone planning to sit the ADS exam to be comfortable with taking online tests and using online calculators.
Where practicable, it would be useful for ADS candidates to practise taking online quizzes/tests and using online calculators before sitting the IMCA examination.
