INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPEMENT COURSE
Course Overview
The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is the heart of the PADI Instructor training process. During the IDC, you'll apply your diving skills and knowledge to learning to teach the PADI System in the classroom, confined water (pool) and open water. All IDC's are conducted by PADI Course Directors, each a highly experienced instructor trainer who has met strict educational proficiency requirements.
The PADI IDC stresses development. As a result, you can relax while learning, knowing that mistakes are part of the process. Although there are performance requirements for successfully completing the course, there are no time limitations, so you may continue to progress under your Course Directors guidance. The goal is to create a low-stress environment in which you can learn to function as a PADI Instructor. This makes the IDC challenging, yet an enjoyable learning experience.
The standard curriculum for the PADI IDC may be completed in as little as ten days or over an extended period. Each element of the course is supported by the Instructor Candidate Workbook and other educational materials, including the latest PADI videos. Topics include: teaching the PADI Openwater course; continuing education courses; Discover experiences; the Recreational Dive Planner, lesson planning and presentation; conducting confined and openwater sessions; legal responsibility and risk management; and marketing your PADI courses.
