PADI IDC Program |
PADI’s IDC Curriculum combines
the Assistant Instructor (AI) and Open Water Scuba
Instructor (OWSI) Courses into a continuous ten day
program.
Only successful completion of the whole IDC
will allow you to enter the IE, although you can receive
the Assistant Instructor rating by completing the
first 3 days.
The IDC concentrates on developing your teaching
and presentation skills and you will be continuously
evaluated to make sure that by the end of the IDC
you have reached the standards you need to successfully
complete the PADI Instructor Exam (IE).
 •
The IDC is a performance based course which means
you will need to meet specific performance requirements
to complete the IDC. You will have a number of opportunities
to meet the standards required, and we will spend
as much time and give you as much help as you need
until you reach the standards.
• The evaluation criteria we use during the
IDC is the same as used by the PADI Examiner on the
IE, so you will know that by successfully completing
the IDC you will be ready to attend the IE.
The main aim of the IDC is to prepare you to pass
the IE. However, The Dive Academy’s IDC’s
will also give you invaluable advice, tips and ideas
that will help prepare you to work as an Instructor
after the IE.
• Successful completion of the IDC requires
candidates to:
 Attend
and participate in all 18 curriculum presentations.
