BSAC photo-ID qualification cards are universally accepted and more convenient as proof of qualification than the Qualification Record Book (QRB).

How to request your QCard (qualification card)

If you have a Diver Training Pack, please request your QCard from your Branch Diving Officer or Lead Instructor as per the instructions below.

If you are applying for a diver grade (e.g. Discovery Diver, Ocean Diver, Sports Diver, Dive Leader, Advanced Diver), please be aware that you must supply the following information to your Branch Diving Officer or Lead Instructor:

  • Full name
  • BSAC membership number
  • Digital passport-style image (from your phone!)
  • Unique Reference Number (URN) which came with your course pack - if you do not have a URN you will need to purchase the qualification card here.

If you are applying for any other qualification, such as a skill development course (SDC), please provide the same details to your Instructor at the end of the course.

The necessary parties will then submit your application online.
