IDC Staff Instructor Program
Just as scuba divers look up to Divemasters, instructor candidates really respect IDC Staff Instructors. As the name implies, IDC Staff Instructors assist with instructor training and share their wisdom and experience with new PADI leaders.
Taking the IDC Staff Instructor course provides you with in-depth knowledge of the instructor development process and prepares you to shape the next generation of PADI Professionals. It’s also a great career move.
Master Scuba Diver Trainers (MSDTs) who are ready to be excellent role models and agree to use the PADI System and components in their entirety may enroll in the IDC Staff Instructor course.
After an assessment of your instructor-level knowledge of dive theory, exemplary dive skills and role-model presentation techniques, you’ll participate in these sessions:
-
- Instructor development standards, procedures and curriculum
-
- How to organize and conduct the PADI Assistant Instructor course
-
- The psychology of evaluation and counseling
-
- Evaluating knowledge development, confined water and open water teaching presentations
Plus, you’ll get to audit an IDC or practice teaching many curriculum components.
As an IDC Staff Instructor, you can independently teach PADI Assistant Instructor courses as well as assist with IDCs and other instructor-level continuing education courses.
Your Course Director will mentor you and will be available to answer questions and to guide your learning so that you will be comfortable and confident as you begin the next step of your professional diving career.
Professional Development is not “one size fits all” at TL Sea Diving.
