As an Instructor Development Course (IDC) Staff Instructor, you help bring up the next generation of PADI Instructors while gaining in-depth instructor-trainer knowledge.

All under the guidance of our in house Course Director, Ian Craddock.

The Fun Part

Because IDC Staff Instructors are an integral part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), you present topics in the IDC and help shape PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors into PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors.

Many of the dive center or resort management positions require this level of Instructor experience and training, making this an important step if you are considering a career in Dive Centre.

What You Learn

• You become a master of instructor-level dive theory, knowledge development teaching presentations and confined water teaching presentations
• You audit a complete IDC as a staff member rather than as a student

What You Can Teach

In addition to all the courses you can teach as aPADI Instructorcan also:

• Teach PADI Assistant Instructor courses.
• Assist PADI Course Directors in conducting the PADI Instructor Development Course.
• Assist PADI Course Directors in conducting instructor-level continuing education.

The Scuba Gear You Use

You will need to equip yourself with all the basic scuba gear and some scuba accessories such as a dive slate, dive knife, compass, dive watch, etc.

It is highly recommended that you own all of your own scuba equipment, as familiarity with personal gear improves general scuba diving skills.

The Learning Materials You Need

The PADI Staff Instructor Course crew pack includes all the materials needed to prepare for and use during the course and future teaching.

This is not included in the price the IDC Staff Instructor course, however these can be supplied by us at a reduced rate if you are doing the course with us.

This will be the new 2020 Crew Pack, meaning you will be learning on PADI's newest digital material platform just like your students can now be using during their courses.

Prerequisites

You must be

• a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer certification
• at least 18 years old
