INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT
COURSE
Are you looking for something extraordinary?
To do something
others can only dream of? To help people transform their
lives?
To open doors you didn’t even know existed? All of
this, and more, awaits you as a PADI Scuba Instructor.
The IDC
The IDC consists of 3 steps, the PADI Assistant Instructor
course (AI), the
PADI Open Water
Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI) and the Instructor
Examination (IE)
The AI
As a PADI Assistant Instructor, you not only gain additional
experience as a PADI Professional scuba diver, but you also
start learning the PADI System of diver education. You can
act as an instructional scuba assistant and assume limited
teaching responsibilities
The OWSI
The OWSI program
is a minimum of four days. It introduces you to the entire
PADI System of diver education and concentrates on further
developing your abilities as a professional dive educator.
The IE
The IE is an
evaluative two-day program conducted by one of the PADI
Instructor Examiners. You’ll be asked to demonstrate your
teaching ability, rescue ability and understanding of the
PADI System and dive theory. The IE is pass-fail. PADI
Instructor Examiners are highly trained professional PADI
Course Directors who represent PADI’s international offices.
Examiners may offer you helpful suggestions, but their
primary job is to evaluate your performance. There’s no
coaching at an IE, so you must go fully prepared. But no
worries, the passing scores are the same as the IDC so you
will be well prepared!
The Fun Part
It’s about life
transformations—both yours and those around you.
The fun part of
instructor training is interacting with course participants
while creating friendships that continue long after the
course concludes.
What You Can Teach
After becoming an Open Water Scuba
Instructor, you will be able to conduct the entire range of PADI
programs from Discover Scuba Diving up to Divemaster. You
may also choose to acquire specialty instructor ratings in
areas of interest, such as Digital
Underwater Photographer or Enriched
Air Diver.
