The PADI® Instructor Development Programme (IDC) prepares you to function as a PADI® Open Water Scuba Instructor. In addition, it further develops your leadership and teaching abilities to the instructor level and prepares you to teach PADI® programmes.

 

To qualify for the PADI® IDC, you must:

  • 1. Be certified as a PADI® Assistant Instructor or a PADI® Divemaster, or as an instructor with another recreational diver training organisation

  • 2. Be at least 18 years old

  • 3. Be fit for diving and submit a medical form signed by a physician

  • 4. Have been a certified diver for at least 6 months and logged at least 60 open water dives with experience in night, deep and navigation prior to starting the IDC, and have logged at least 100 dives prior to entering the Instructor Examination (IE)

  • 5. Submit proof of CPR training within 24 months.

During the PADI® IDC, you'll learn the PADI® System of diver education, standards and procedures, effective academic teaching presentations, teaching in confined water, conducting open water training dives and additional related topics. You'll learn these topics one of two ways; through the PADI® IDC or the PADI® Instructor Orientation Programme (IOC).

After successful completion of the IDC or IOC, you must successfully complete the PADI® IE. You will be evaluated on;

  • dive theory

  • academic teaching

  • confined-water (pool) teaching

  • open-water teaching, general diving skills & professionalism

As a PADI® Open Water Scuba Instructor you can conduct the entire range of PADI® experience programmes and PADI® diver programmes, from Open Water Diver through to Divemaster (except for specialties and Emergency First Response).

After successfully completing your PADI® IDC / IOC and IE, you receive a certification card and certificate denoting this rating. You'll also become a member of PADI® and receive benefits, including the ability to purchase professional liability insurance (which may be required to conduct some activities).
