Clinic Information
The ASA 205 IQC is the fourth instructor-level clinic in the keelboat training system and certifies an individual for teaching the ASA 105 Coastal Navigation course at an ASA affiliate school. This clinic is based in the classroom with no on-the-water skills requirements. However, this certification requires candidates to demonstrate broader knowledge by written examination. When the Instructor Candidate is successful, the Instructor Evaluator signs the Candidate's log book and the ASA issues the certification stickers by mail.
Price: $545
