| PADI Instructor Development Course - £595 (Assistant Instructor & Open Water Scuba Instructor Combined) The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is the heart of the PADI instructor training process. During the IDC you will 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 instructor candidate workbook and other educational materials, including the latest PADI videos, support each element of the course. Topics include: teaching the PADI open water diver course, continuing education courses, discover experiences, the recreational dive planner, lesson planning and presentation, conducting confined open water sessions, legal responsibility and risk management and marketing your PADI courses, to name a few. PADI’s Instructor Development Course sets the standard for instructor training. Updated prerequisites and higher skills training ensures that PADI instructors continue to teach to a higher standard. During your instructor-training program you will learn to manage and adapt the PADI System to meet your individual students needs. Comprehensive training combined with the support provided by the wide variety of professional PADI educational materials earns PADI instructors respect from both students and peers. 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 director’s 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 a challenging, yet enjoyable learning experience. The course runs over a period of 8 days. Once you have successfully passed the IDC, you will be expected to attend a 2 day PADI Instructor Exam. Professional instructor examiners from PADI conduct IE’s to confirm that instructor candidates meet the requirements for certification as PADI Instructors. Instructor examiners go through extensive training and maintain their evaluation skills by attending regularly scheduled updates. Having every IE conducted by authorised PADI staff ensures an evaluation process that is objective, fair and consistent. The criteria for certification as a PADI open water scuba instructor are clear, not arbitrary. The IE is a programme that evaluates your diving knowledge and skills, as well as your ability to deliver teaching presentations in the classroom, confined water and open water. |
