PADI Instructor Development Course

PADI IDC
New PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) curriculum - The most comprehensive instructor program in the industry!

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 conduct knowledge development, confined water dives and open water dives of PADI courses using the entire PADI System of Diver Education.

IDC is a developmental process; you can relax while learning, knowing that mistakes are part of the process. It prepares you to function as a PADI Instructor. You gain knowledge, skill and teaching techniques to use the PADI System effectively.

Throughout the program you have the opportunities to measure your performance and improve your abilities. Our job is to coach you towards your success!

This Instructor training program is divided into two components; PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) Course and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) Course. You can either do your PADI Instructor training as a full PADI IDC or you can break it up by doing your PADI Assistant Instructor course first, gain some experience and then move on to do your PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor course in a later time before you go for your PADI Instructor Examinations (IE).

After successfully completing your IDC with us, you are ready to attend a PADI Instructor Examination (IE)! PADI IE is designed to evaluate your readiness, knowledge and skills to earn your PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor rating before you start conducting PADI courses in the real world.

You will also demonstrate that you have a good understanding in dive theory, the PADI System/Standards and Procedure. Your attitude and professionalism will also be evaluated.

According to our past IDC candidates, IE is the easiest part in the whole instructor-training process. You just have to do what you have learned during your IDC one more time!

PADI IE is divided into 4 modules;

Module 1 - Written Exams

  • Dive theory Exams –Physics, Physiology, RDP, Equipment, Skills & Environment (12 questions each area).
