PADI IDC Instructor
Development Course Semporna Sabah Borneo Malaysia
PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is an 11-day program
designed to prepare qualified candidates to become PADI Instructors.
Our IDC is divided into two distinct segments. The first segment is the
PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) course. The second portion is the 6-day
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Together the two courses
combine to encompass the entire IDC. Both courses must be completed before
attending the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). Our IDC is actually run as
four programs in one starting with the 2-day free IDC Preparation-Study and
Prep Workshop, followed by the 5-day Assistant Instructor course, 6-day OWSI
Course and followed by the 2-day
Emergency First Response Instructor before
or after the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).
Each segment can be scheduled as a stand-alone course or completed all at
one time. You have several training options and flexibility for reaching
your professional goals depending on your current certification level,
experience level, time restraints, etc. Options include:
PADI Divemaster may choose just to attend the AI course first and later on
after gaining more experience go on to complete the OWSI program
PADI Divemaster may attend the
full IDC and, upon successful completion, go
on to the IE (as long as all other IE prerequisites are met).
IDC Preparation-Study and Prep Workshop is optional but highly recommended
for everyone. Your preparation is the key to success.
