The next two section in Your Workbook, provide a framework for the complete IDC course classroom presentations
|
IDC - Part 1; The PADI Assistant Instructor Course (AI)
(7 Class Meetings - 40 Hours)
not only provides valuable preparation for Open Water Scuba Instructor training,
but also expands skills that enhance an AI's professional capacity. During the
course you'll concentrate on developing an academic presentation style that allows
you to effectively conduct classroom sessions for any PADI course. Upon
completion, you may choose to go on to an Open Water Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI), or
use your practical knowledge and skills as a professional Assistant Instructor.
The PADI IDC stresses development.
As a result, you can relax while learning, knowing that mistakes are part of the
process. Although there are performance requirements for successfully completing
the course, there are not time limitations, so you may continue to progress under
your Course Director's guidance. This makes the IDC challenging, yet an enjoyable
learning experience.

IDC - Part 2; The PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI)
(14 Class Meetings - 50 Hours)
is the heart of the PADI Instructor training process. During the IDC, you'll apply
your diving skills and knowledge to learning to teach the PADI System in the
classroom, confined water (pool) and open water. All IDC's are conducted by PADI
Course Directors, each a highly experienced instructor trainer who has met strict
educational proficiency requirements.
