Assist During PADI Instructor Development Courses
The PADI IDC Staff Instructor course is designed to provide PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
with the additional training necessary to staff PADI Instructor Development programs.
This course builds upon the Staff Instructor candidate's experience and abilities as a dive
educator while concentrating on developing evaluation and counseling skills.
Through independent study, classroom sessions guided evaluation training and an internship,
IDC Staff Instructor candidates learn to teach the PADI Assistant Instructor course and assist
with instructor development programs.
A further goal is to familiarize the IDC Staff Instructor candidate with PADI IDC/OWSI standards,
curriculum, and procedures and develop the IDC Staff Instructor candidate's presentation skills
to a role-model level. This is getting even more important now, since PADI changed the IDC
curriculum in 2009. Updated IDC Staff Instructors will further on be allowed to teach PADI
Assistant Instructor courses.
