IDC Staff Instructors assist with instructor training and share their wisdom and experience with new PADI leaders. Assist in training during Instructor-level continuing education programs.
As a PADI Instructor, you have wisdom and experience to share with up-and-coming PADI leaders and you know that continuing your education never ends. As a Staff Instructor (IDCS), you help bring up the next generation of PADI Instructors while gaining in-depth instructor-trainer knowledge.
Because PADI IDC Staff Instructors are an integral part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), you set the stage for moving on to PADI Course Director as you present topics in the IDC and help shape PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors into PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors. Many dive centers 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 Center or you want to open a dive shop or resort.
The challenging part of this course is your personal commitment to the training. The course requires you to complete all the self-study Knowledge Reviews before the course begins and to prepare daily assignments for teaching presentations. Organizations and dedication are key.
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.
In addition to all the courses you can teach as a PADI Instructor, you can also:
You will need the PADI Course Director Manual and the associated PADI slates to assist you when involved in IDC courses.
