PADI Instructor Development Course
PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)
Follow your dreams, pass the passion on to others, be dive-bound not desk-bound! Clearly you love diving or you wouldn't have got to this page and you're here because you want to go that step further.
Full-time or Part-time, warm-water or more temperate climes, it matters not. Teaching diving is just incredible.
So how do you get there? There are 3 parts:
- Knowledge Development - use the IDC Crewpack and online theory to prepare your knowledge base before the IDC starts
- The IDC is - completed by our PADI Course Director
- The Instructors Exams - run by PADI after your IDC
You need to pass the IDC to go on to the IE (Instructor Exams) and you need to pass these to become a PADI Instructor. So not an easy task but rewarding beyond belief.
Who can become and instructor?
- You need to be a minimum of 18 - there's no maximum!
- You need 60 logged dives to take part in the IDC and 100 logged dives to attend an IE
- Your First Aid & CPR certificate needs to be up to date which means within the last 24 months
- You'll need a Medical Statement signed by a Doctor within the last 12 months
- You will also need Emergency First Response Instructor Rating, which we will organise during your instructor training
How long does it take?
9 days back to back at our dive centre in Plymouth. This is a mixture of classroom workshops, pool sessions and sea-based teaching (quarry fees not included in the event that the sea state is not suitable)
What the course covers:
Frankly we'll be teaching you everything you need to know to be a successful PADI Instructor. A toolbox full of teaching skills, diving skills, techniques and knowledge.
