July 2006 Instructor Development Program
The Instructor Development Training Process
The Instructor Development process is a combination of programs designed to enhance Instructor Candidates abilities as Dive professionals, as well as offer specialised training programs, all of which are intended to increase your success as a dive professional.
The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) consists of 2 training phases, the Assistant Instructor Program (AI) and the Open Water Scuba Instructor Program (OWSI). The IDC is then followed by a 2 day Instructor Examination (IE) program conducted by PADI Worldwide.
The IDC emphasises development, not testing. Candidates can relax and concentrate on skill development knowing that making mistakes is part of the learning process. You will be assessed on your readiness to attend an IE during the IDC by means of feedback during individual counselling sessions.
Instructor Development Course (IDC) Prerequisites
To enrol on an IDC, an individual must:
| 1. |
Be at least 18 years of age. |
| 2. |
Be certified as a PADI divemaster or hold a leadership level certification with another recreational diver training organisation recognised by PADI. |
| 3. |
Submit medical clearance for Scuba diving signed by a physician stating you are fit to dive. The medical clearance must be current within the previous 12 months. Since an in date medical is also required for the IE phase of the process we suggest that the 12 month period encompasses the final date of the IE you plan to attend. The Physician signing the form may not be the applicant. |
| 4. |
Have been a certified diver for at least 6 months and have completed and logged at least 60 dives (100 dives to attend an IE) and have documentation of experience in deep, night and navigation diving as documented in your logbook. |
| 5. |
Submit proof of CPR and First Aid training within the past 24months. Preferably the PADI EFR course. |
| 6. |
Submit documentation of any equivalent certifications for entry level, advanced and rescue certifications issued by another recreational diver training organisation. If submitting an equivalent rescue diver certification, also include copies of first aid training documentation. |
| 7. |
If not a PADI divemaster successfully complete the PADI divemaster course diver rescue skills assessment. |

Preparation for the IDC program
A critical element of success is to be fully prepared prior to the start of the IDC program. Being prepared means you will get the full benefit and enjoyment from the program and alleviate unnecessary stress. All 16 Knowledge Reviews in the Candidate Workbook (Independent Study) need to be completed prior to the start of the course.
Since space is limited and demand is high we do recommend early booking (R1000 deposit required paid in to banking details provided)
Within Gauteng an individual meeting will be arranged with you at time of booking to provide you with preparation guidelines, detailed course schedule, to check course pre requisites, material requirements and answer any individual questions. For candidates out of the Gauteng area, an in depth teleconference or email will replace an individual meeting.
