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:

1. Knowledge Development. Done before you start the course through the IDC Crew pack
2. The IDC. Done by a PADI Course Director.
3. The Instructors Exams. Run by PADI

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.

 

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.  You will know your way around the PADI system, how to problem solve, schedule, cost, organise courses and most importantly of all teach diving to the highest of standards.
