We are holding up to four Instructor Courses per year. The IDC duration incl Pre-IDC is 12 days followed by 2 days examination (IE). We start daily at 9:00 and finish between 16:00-17:00.
The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) prepares you, the candidate, to work as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. You gain knowledge of diving theory at instructor level, model-level water and rescue skills and leadership skills, learn how to teach in confined water, in the classroom, and in open water.
As an instructor candidate you gain a complete understanding of the PADI educational goals and the PADI philosophy. During your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), you will carry out different workshops aimed to acquiring knowledge and practice of all PADI courses at teaching level, as well as workshops on risk management, marketing and sales, and course management and development. You will practice all the dry exercises in the classroom and then in confined open water in the sea until we acquire a demonstrative quality at the required level.
After completing your IDC, you will demonstrate what you have learned in the Instructor Examination (IE). Here, an independent and objective PADI Instructor Examiner, assesses your teaching techniques in and out of the water, your knowledge and expertise, checks everything from dive theory to PADI standards. PADI is the only training organization that requires an objective and independent examen to qualify you as a professional instructor.
Candidates who complete the Instructor Development Course and Instructor Examination will obtain the required knowledge and qualifications to teach PADI diving courses from Open Water to Divemaster.
