INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT
COURSE
During our program you'll learn
how to teach and sell diving by using PADI's methods of diver
training. Our IDC's are taught by experienced International Dive Management PADI
Course Director and IDC Staff instructors. During the program you will learn how
to present diving information in the class room, pool, and open
water settings. Our Course Director will completely overview PADI
standards and training philosophy relating to all levels of
training, not only special emphasis being placed on the open
water diver course. A complete look at all of PADI' s courses and
teaching materials is included, and you will learn how to use
many of these teaching materials during your practice teaching
sessions. In addition to in-depth sessions on how to develop your
teaching lessons, we'll offer valuable training hints and you'll
learn more about our approach to stress-free and enjoyable diver
training. Our experienced Staff will provide valuable information
on how to teach diving, and you'll have practice teaching
sessions in the class room, pool, and open water. You'll also
learn about teaching divers to PADI's continuing education level.
During each of these sessions, we will provide suggestions,
helpful hints, and recommended procedures to teaching various
skills and lessons.
Our
Course Director will be with you from the beginning to the ending
of your program and will offer hints and suggestions during your
counseling sessions. During your one-on-one counseling sessions
you'll be given feedback on your progress so you will know how
you are progressing through the course. An IE is specially
scheduled after each of our IDC programs. This special scheduling
allows you to complete the IE while all of the information is
fresh in your mind and your teaching skills are fine tuned from
the practice sessions you have completed during the IDC. After
completing the PADI IE, you will be certified as a PADI Open
Water Instructor.
However, you have a better
chance for employment by completing various Instructor level
continuing education programs. Have a closer look to the programs
below and make sure you check the schedule.
