The IDC consists of 2 components. The AI ? Assistant Instructor course and the OWSI ? Open Water Scuba Instructor course. |

The AI course is a 4 day course that builds on divemaster training and introduces you to a role as an instructional assistant. It further teaches you how to teach knowledge development classroom sessions, to evaluate open water diver surface skills, teach the Project Aware, Aware Coral Reef and Peak Performance Buoyancy speciality courses and how to conduct DSD experience programs. |
|
The OWSI is a 6 day course which follows on from the AI and teaches candidates the ability to prepare academics, confined and open water teaching presentations, learn about business principles, teaching kids, risk management, diving industry standards, how to successfully utilize PADI media, promote and advertise PADI and be able to teach the entire range of PADI programs efficiently and effectively. |
|
We are also offering a free 3 day preparation course to help strengthen your knowledge of diving theory including physics, physiology, equipment and the Recreational Dive Planner and dive theory, and to also give you ample time to practice your OW and rescue water skills. These days will give you extra time to ensure all 16 knowledge reviews are complete and that you are fully prepared to start the IDC. |
|
Once the IDC has been successfully completed the IE - Instructor Exams is a 2-day exam conducted by an instructor examiner sent through PADI Asia Pacific Office. The IE is being held in Cebu City 2nd - 4th October. |
