Overview

Overview - PADI Assistant Instructor course in Perhentian Island, Malaysia.

The PADI Assistant Instructor course takes PADI Divemaster training a step further by teaching these certified assistants how to introduce new knowledge and skills independently, or with minimal supervision, and learn to conduct additional PADI programs.

Becoming a PADI Assistant Instructor is a good option for you as a PADI Divemaster who want to gain additional knowledge and skills before taking your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), or if you must delay attending your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). As an experienced PADI Assistant Instructor you will enter your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) training already knowing how to teach and handle a class, which makes it easier for you to absorb more during the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program and smoothes the transition to functioning as a PADI Scuba Instructor in future.

If have a leadership-level certification through other certification organizations you may also qualify to take the PADI Assistant Instructor course. You may find it helpful to become familiar with the PADI System through the PADI Assistant Instructor course before going on to the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. By taking this course, you will get to fine-tune and adapt their teaching skills to PADI programs, and become a PADI Member.

Some PADI Assistant Instructors may not become PADI Instructors for a variety of economical, educational and personal reasons. In this case, you still may work as dive professionals and hold key positions within the dive industry. You can provide many instructional and noninstructional services for dive centers and resorts, which allows PADI Scuba Instructors to concentrate on teaching.

The PADI Assistant Instructor course goals are to:

• Further develop your skills as an instructional assistant.
• Provide you with practical experience in teaching knowledge development portions of various PADI courses.
• Provide you with practical experience in conducting skill development sessions of various PADI courses.
• Provide you with practical experience in conducting open water training dives in courses such as the Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty course.

• Familiarize you with PADI Standards, administrative requirements and certification procedures used in conducting PADI courses.
• Familiarize you with the structure of the dive industry and provide basic marketing, sales and risk management techniques.
