As a seasoned PADI Instructor, you have wisdom and experience to share with up-and-coming PADI leaders. And, you know that continuing your education never ends.
As an Instructor Development Course (IDC) Staff Instructor, you help bring up the next generation of PADI Instructors while gaining in-depth instructor-trainer knowledge.
Because IDC Staff Instructors are an integral part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), you set the stage for moving on to Course Director as you present topics in the IDC and help shape PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors into PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors.
Many of dive center or resort management positions require this level of Instructor experience and training, making this an important step if you are considering a career in Dive Center or you want to open a dive shop or dive resort.
What You Learn:
- You become a master of instructor-level dive theory, knowledge development teaching presentations and confined water teaching presentations
- You audit a complete IDC as a staff member rather than as a student
In addition to all the courses you can teach as PADI OWSI, you can also:
- Teach PADI Assistant Instructor courses.
- Assist PADI Course Directors in conducting the PADI IDC.
- Assist PADI Course Directors in conducting instructor-level continuing education
Prerequisites:
- Be a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have five PADI Specialty Instructor certifications
- Have certified at least 25 PADI Divers
