PADI Instructor Development Course
Are you a PADI Divemaster?
Du bist schon ganz nah dran. Jetzt ist die Zeit gekommen, deinen PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) zu beginnen. Der IDC Kurs besteht aus zwei Teilen, dem Assistant Instructor (AI) Kurs und dem Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) Programm. Diese Struktur ermöglicht es dir, den Kurs aus Termingründen bei Bedarf in zwei Blöcke zu unterteilen. Nichtsdestotrotz kannst du die beiden Teile auch gerne zusammen machen und in nur sieben Tagen den ganzen IDC Kurs hinter dich bringen.
Der erste Teil des PADI Instructor Development Kurses (IDC) ist der PADI Assistant Instructor Kurs. In diesem Kurs bekommst du zusätzliche Erfahrung als PADI Professional und du lernst das PADI System der Tauchausbildung.
Nach Abschluss deines IDC zeigst du in der Instructor Examination (IE), was du gelernt hast. Dabei bewertet ein PADI Instructor Examiner unabhängig und objektiv dein Wissen und deine Fertigkeiten, wobei er dich in allem prüft – von der Tauchtheorie bis zu den PADI Ausbildungsstandards. PADI ist die einzige Ausbildungsorganisation, bei der eine objektive und unabhängige Prüfung vorgeschrieben ist, um ein professioneller Instructor zu werden. Dieser ausgewogene und konsistente Bewertungsprozess ist eines der herausragenden Merkmale, die PADI Profis zu den am meisten gefragten und respektierten Ausbildern der Tauchindustrie machen.
Our Padi 5 star IDC Center
IDC Preparation
To make you ready and at ease to learn, we have added 3 preparation days, which are FREE OF CHARGE. These days will improve your IDC, you IE, your readiness to learn and will decrease your nerve level. In these 3 days we will use our time for the following important IDC preparations:
* the required administration (please bring all your diving certifications, EFR certifications, a current medical, credit card and your logbook),
* to check out and practise your diving skills (to improve your demonstration quality to that expected by the examinator at your IE),
* to improve your rescue assessment (to improve your demonstration quality to that expected by the examinator at your IE),
* to practise some swimming skills,
* we will assess your theoretical knowledge and identify areas where you need to improve. We will do this through practising exams and giving added presentations about different topics,
* some extra CPR practise.
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THE PREPARATION IN TWO DAYS, YOU CAN USE THE THIRD DAY FOR THE EMERGENCY OXYGEN PROVIDER SPECIALIST INSTRUCTOR COURSE ! This course is available at a small surcharge.
Instructor Development Course
During this Instructor Development Course we will teach you not only how to pass the IE, but through real life exemples we will also show you how it works in real life ! You will see that using the excellent PADI educational materials will make your life as an Instructor easier. Our focus during the course is how to make teaching easy, efficient and ofcourse fun ! You and your fellow students are going to practise on eachother and on our staff. Through practise we learn ! Learn to teach in a relaxed atmosfeer (at the beach, on a tropical island, with sunshine and 29 degrees Celcius water temperatures) and from professionals. We offer a longer course, because we want to give you more time to practise.

PADI IE - Instructor Examination
The IE (Instructor Examination) will give you a chance to show what you have learned during your IDC. Professional examinators from PADI are flying all the way over to Thailand to see how well you are doing as an Instructor. They are not coming over to fail students (these are nice people). The only person that can fail him/herself is you. So make sure you prepare well during the IDC Preparation Days and let us guide you to the Instructors World !
To be able to go to the IE, you have to succesfully finish the IDC. The PADI Instructor Examination Fee is 695 AUS$. This amount is not included in our prices and has to be paid seperately to PADI by credit card (no cash payments possible).
We provide a succesful IDC to IE pass, which means if you succesfully pass our IDC and have a mental block at your first IE, we will pay your second IE (have to wait for 5 days at least) and train you to be sure you are ready.
