Who should take IDC?
Teaching diving lessons permit you to share your passion of the aquatic world with others while doing what you like – being in, around and under water. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors and PADI Assistant Instructors are the most sought-after dive professionals.
You get a PADI Scuba Instructor rating through demanding work, intense training and personal commitment, but you’re earn a job that offers you the chance to experience unbelievable underwater adventures with others – transforming yourself, transforming their lives.
Successfully completing just the Assistant Instructor course results in a PADI Assistant Instructor qualification. When an Assistant Instructor is ready to progress, attending an O.W.S.I. program allows entry into an IE to earn a full PADI Instructor rating.
What’s an IE?
An Instructor Examination (IE) is a two-day evaluative program that tests an instructor candidate’s teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, skill level, understanding of the PADI System, and attitude and professionalism.
PADI IEs are standardized and conducted by specially trained PADI Instructor Examiners. The IE location, testing environment and examination sessions are organized to be as objective as possible to fairly and consistently evaluate a candidate’s abilities.
What will you learn?
Over a minimum of seven days, but usually more like nine, the IDC teaches you to conduct all PADI core courses. You’ll be able to organize and present information, conduct skill development sessions and control open water dives. Basically, you get really good at demonstrating skills while watching out for student diver safety.
Key topics include:
- PADI Standards and Procedures for courses you can teach with in water workshops.
- Learning, Instruction and the PADI System.
- Risk Management and Diver Safety
- The Business of Diving and your role as an instructor.
- Marketing Diving and Sales Counseling.
