This is from Naui website.
After your exam, you can qualify for the Nitrox recognition card, or go ahead and complete two dives to receive your Nitrox Diver certification card. And, your NAUI instructor can integrate your Nitrox course into your Scuba Diver course!
What's the difference between the Recognition Card & Certification Card?

Good luck, and congrats. It's a great course that provides some very useful skills and information.
By the way, I took my EANx through PADI. There were no check-out dives required. I just read the book, sat through a 2.5-hour course, took an exam, and got my cert. It's my understanding that the check-out dives were "optional."

I just got this from the PADI e-learning website...
"What else is required to complete the course?
Prior to certification as a PADI Enriched Air Diver, you must complete a Practical Application session and either two enriched air training dives or predive simulations, with a PADI Enriched Air Specialty Instructor. Contact your PADI Dive Center or Resort to schedule these sessions."
Not sure what they consider a predive simulation (using the analyzer maybe). It does not really matter though because the TDI course was much cheaper than the PADI course anyway. Have fun diving everyone.
