 The PADI Instructor Development Course (I.D.C) is your key to a new career and a new lifestyle!
The IDC begins with independent learning and encompasses both the Assistant Intructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) progam.
Assistant Instructor
The foundation of PADI Instructor Development is the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). The program consists of two parts - the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program makes up the IDC. Successfully completing an AI course allows instructor candidates to earn the PADI Assistant Instructor rating which authorizes them to function as instructional assistants and independently conduct certain PADI programs. AI course completion also qualifies candidates to patricipate in an OWSI progam.
Open Water Scuba Instructor
During the PADI Instructor Development program, you'll learn the PADI System of diver education, standards and procedures, effective academic teaching presentations, teaching in confined water, conduction open water training dives, the business of diving and addional related topics.
When you complete the IDC, you will have been trained and prepared to successfully attend the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). This is the final step toward you Open Water Scuba Instructor certification.
PADI IE - Instructor Examination (2 1/2 days)
An evaluative program where you repeat what you have been doing during the IDC. After completion of the IDC or OWSI, you must successfully complete the PADI Instructor Examination (IE) to become an Open Water Scuba Instructor. You will be evaluated on; dive theory, knowledge development presentations, confined-water (pool) teaching, open-water teaching and general diving skills and professionalism. Nothing new. All our prior candidates found the IE easier than the IDC.
