PADI IDC additional info and how to prepare yourself...

As a certified Divemaster or Assistant Instructor, you're ready to begin the training that provides both - a career in diving and the respect only afforded those divers who carry the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor credential.

Program Description

The PADI Instructor Development Program 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 programs. During the PADI Instructor Development program, 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 Instructor Development Program (IDC) or the PADI Instructor Orientation Program (IOC).

(Note: the IOC is an option available only if you're an instructor that is current with another certification organization and wish to become a PADI Instructor.)

After successful completion of the IDC or IOC, you must successfully complete the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). You will be evaluated on; dive theory, academic teaching, confined-water (pool) teaching, open-water teaching and general diving skills and professionalism.

As a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor you can conduct the entire range of PADI experience programs and PADI diver programs, from Open Water Diver through Divemaster (except for specialties and PADI Emergency First Response, which require specific Specialty Diver Instructor and Emergency FIRST Response® Instructor ratings).

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).

IDC OVERVIEW

Our expanded 12-day IDC program aims to make the transition from Padi Divemaster/Assistant Instructor to Padi Open Water Scuba Instructor low stress and a very valuable learning experience. 100% effort is expected from all IDC candidates, but you will still have a lot of fun and enjoy your course at the same time.

In our program you will feel like a person - a member of the team - not only another candidate.

We emphasize the importance of team spirit and cooperation, which are some of the most important factors towards a successful future as a diving professional. We work hard to be able to give you the best possible back up and support during your IDC, making it a very rewarding learning experience.
To greatly improve Candidate teaching presentations, they will be recorded on video, being able to see your classroom and confined presentations, will make the learning process more realistic and enjoyable for you.

Your Course Director will be available for questions and any assistance when preparing home assignments, presentations and general considerations throughout the whole IDC program. We also know the importance of having a Course Director speaking your first language; Stein is present to clarify any language related questions if needed. Assistance available in English,
German, Norwegian, Swedish and danish.

Furthermore, all of our dive center facilities will be available to you throughout the IDC, including TV, video, whiteboards, slide projectors and our complete Padi library.

Our experience tells us, that what you actually need to become successful both during the IE and more importantly afterwards out in the field, are extra academic and open water control presentations and additional water skills practice.

By providing an above average service and support, we ensure that you can fully concentrate on your IDC, turning you into a professional dive educator.

Recent changes to the PADI IDC (Instructor Development Course) breaks instructor training into two parts. The PADI AI (Assistant Instructor) program which was optional before on the path from PADI Divemaster to PADI Instructor has become the first part of the revised IDC curriculum.

The IDC which was 7 days before this change is still 7 days. The new revised AI curriculum is now the first 3 days of the IDC and the last 4 days is now called the OWSI (Open Water SCUBA Instructor) course. Tauch-Terminal still offers our IDC candidates the extended 12 day IDC program.

New Course Materials:

IDC Candidate Workbook has changed and the Confined water and Open water lesson plan slates have been updated. Along with the revised Course Director Manual and updated evaluation slates, new digital presentations are available including photos, diagrams and video clips from various PADI videos.

Diver retention programs, and business principles for the dive instructor. Candidates come away better prepared to offer complete programs that attract dive customers.

Teaching children with more focus on youth diving and how to plan promotions to youth and family.

Prescriptive teaching and how to make more effective use of available media and training materials. How to organize and conduct the Peak Performance Buoyancy- and Project Aware Specialties. We understand the importance of teaching using only the latest educational materials.

The candidates must now complete all course knowledge reviews prior to the start of the IDC. Candidate knowledge development presentations (academic presentations) now include practical local dive information, dive equipment and real world examples.
