IDC
The PADI instructor Development Course qualifies you to attend the PADI Instructor Exam (IE), and is made up of 2 FUNdamental parts:
The first part is the Diving Instructor Course (all PADI courses & programs, the philosophy, class organization, marketing, etc…)
The Second part is training as an Emergency First Response Instructor (unless you are already an active CPR & first aid instructor).
The objective of the diving instructor course is to allow you to get hands on experiences and the full comprehension of becoming a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. You will participate in various underwater and dry workshops focusing on developing your own style of teaching. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach that creates drones and we guarantee you will have a lot of FUN!
The Emergency First Response Course is another SUPER fun 2-day course to qualify you to become an EFR instructor. You will then be qualified to teach people how to save lives, give rescue breaths, CPR, and handle other life-saving techniques.
