PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course Overview
The PADI IDC Staff Instructor program is designed to provide PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainers with the additional training necessary to assist a PADI Course Director in conducting the IDC. It is also one step closer to the prestigious Master Instructor rating.
This program builds upon the IDC Staff Instructor candidate’s experience and abilities as a dive educator while concentrating on developing evaluation and counselling skills to an effective and consistent level, as well as developing familiarity with the Padi IDC curriculum.
Since the training includes auditing an entire Padi IDC, it must be conducted in conjunction with an IDC.
