PADI
Assistant Instructor Development Course |
If
you like people, have a passion for scuba diving and want an extraordinary
life – become a PADI Instructor. Teaching scuba diving allows you to share
your love of the aquatic world with others while doing what you enjoy –
being in, around and under water. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors and PADI
Assistant Instructors are the most sought-after dive professionals around
the world because they’ve completed the program that sets the standard for
training dive professionals. You earn a PADI Instructor rating through hard
work and commitment, but you’re rewarded with a job that lets you share
incredible underwater adventures with others – transforming their lives for
the better and enriching yours.
Are you ready to join the ranks of
the dedicated professionals who teach the world’s most progressive and
popular scuba diver education programs? Then Go PRO with an Assistant Instructor
Development Course at Scuba Center.
The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made
up of two parts – the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the
Open Water
Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Most dive professionals complete the entire
IDC and go on to attend an Instructor Examination (IE), which is the final
step to earn a PADI Instructor certification.
Successfully completing
just the AI course results in a PADI Assistant Instructor qualification.
When an AI is ready to progress, attending an OWSI program allows entry into
an IE to earn a full PADI Instructor rating. |

How does the eLearning component work?
You begin your IDC knowledge and skills development through online
independent study consisting of 15 curriculum components. It is
recommended you complete all independent eLearning prior to beginning the
IDC, however, it is possible to start the IDC (or AI course/OWSI program)
and complete independent study as you progress. |
