The PADI instructor training course – IDC (Instruction Development Course) – prepares you to become an Assistant Instructor or Open Water Scuba Instructor. It is intended for those who have already decided to take the professional track and have a solid knowledge of dive theory, experience as a guide or dive group leader, and a Rescue Diver certification, such as a PADI Divemaster.
The IDC allows you to apply your understanding of the PADI system as an educator and to better understand the educational philosophy developed by PADI. This course also teaches you what your role could be within the diving industry, how to contribute to its developments, and which opportunities the PADI market can offer you, especially if you are an instructor coming from another organization.
Once you have obtained your OWSI diploma, you may decide to continue your training and become a Specialty Instructor in order to be able to teach specialty courses.
