What is a PADI IDC Staff Instructor?
As a PADI IDC Staff Instructor, you are certified to a level that alows you to assist a PADI Course Director with components of the PADI INstructor Development Course (PADI IDC). You may participate as a team member and present classroom presentations during the IDC. You may also assist with confined and open water presentations and you will be scoring AI, OWSI and IDC candidates next to your PADI Course Director, to give you the experience you need to become a PADI Master Instructor and ultimately a PADI Course Director.
One might say a PADI Staff Instructor is the PADI Course Directors' "DiveMaster"
Other PADI BenefitsAs a PADI IDC Staff Instructor you will also be certified to conduct portions of the PADI Specialty Instructor Courses as conducted by your PADI Course Director. Most likely, you will be the one in the water with the Specialty Instructor Candidate, taking her or him through the motions of the particular specialty. This is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Of course, it also means that when you become a specialty instructor trainer after becoming a PADI Course Director, you will have a lot of experience in these specialties.CDC BenefitsAt PADI Caribbean Dive College you will not be able to participate in teaching the PADI DiveMaster Course, before you get certified PADI IDC Staff Instructor. PADI DiveMasters need to be taught by experienced PADI Professionals who also understand the importance of continuing education for a dive operation and who can enthusiasticly talk about the Instructor Development Process. Therefore, when you are working, or planning to work for us, just keep in mind that you will be more valuable and will make more money, when you do your PADI IDC Staff Instructor course through us. |
