These materials are essential tools during your training and for teaching Assistant Instructors in the future.

We will also provide you with loads of digital materials to help you in your career as a Staff Instructor and help you with advice in how to build a successful Assistant Instructor training programme.

As a PADI IDC Staff Instructor you can teach assistant instructors and assist on PADI instructor Development courses. It is your chance to travel the world, meet great people and dive in exotic locations. Our PADI Staff Instructor course packages can make this a reality!

As a Staff Instructor you are qualified to teach the Assistant Instructor course, staff IDCs and it is your step towards Master Instructor and the PADI Course Director course. It is a great career move putting you in a position where you can move through to PADI Master Instructor and Course Director, giving you a greater insight into the PADI teaching philosophy and dive industry marketing, valuable skills if you plan to own or manage dive centres.

To qualify for training on your PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course, you must:

• Be at least 18 YEARS OLD
• Be certified as a diver for at LEAST SIX MONTHS
• Be a qualified PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT)
• Be fit for diving and submit a PADI MEDICAL STATEMENT signed by a physician within the last 12 months
• Have proof of CPR and FIRST AID TRAINING within the last 24 months (The PADI EFR course meets this requirement)

On this course you focus on evaluation and counselling, taking in all those things you miss on your first IDC as you focus on passing the exam. Our Staff Instructor course runs in conjunction with IDCs and really are a great way to refresh and renew your teaching practices.

During your training we will practice evaluating academic, open water and confined presentations, looking in depth at the scoring criteria and counselling techniques. We will also overview standards for assistant instructor and IDC candidates plus review how to schedule and market an assistant instructor course.

You also have the option to audit an entire IDC to gain more practice and experience with evaluating and counselling.

The PADI IDC Dive Centres that we choose to work with are the most successful in their regions. Be part of that success and start your career on the right track. That is a real job opportunity!
