PADI IDC Staff Instructor The goal of the PADI Staff Instructor Course is to learn how to assess instructor candidates and how to offer them feedback on their presentations. We develop candidates to be the best possible and enter the world as a scuba instructor ready to teach the world to dive and confident to teach courses at all levels. The staff instructor course is a really cool way to get the most up to date information of what’s happening in the PADI instructor development world and a great way to take the step into instructor development. You will learn not only how to assess, evaluate and feedback to instructor candidates but also get an in-depth look at the PADI teaching system as a whole and learn about the most modern teaching techniques of developing instructor candidates and also recreational students. We cover many workshops over and above the curriculum that Staff Instructors will find useful such as CV workshops and marketing exercises. In Bali we run our IDC’s over 16 days with one day off in the middle and then we go to the IE so you will be able to see the whole process through which is really nice. If you have time constraints this is not a performance requirement. Just a nice way to finish and very rewarding for you to see the hard work you put into the candidates. As you will effectively be part of the instructor development team even when you are on your course we highly recommend that you have a brush over your dive theory and standards knowledge as this will be very beneficial to you and to the candidates you will be assisting. PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course The Staff Instructor Course will need two days before the start of the “normal IDC” where you and our Platinum PADI Course Director will look into how to evaluate candidates and how to give effective feedback. We also spend a lot of time working on the psychology of instructor development. You as the IDC Staff Instructor candidate will need to also pass the PADI IDC exams to a score of 83% min and we need to do a skill circuit where for you we would focus on neutral buoyancy skills that we should be working towards with all our students. And you will need to give a classroom and pool presentation which will be done in conjunction with the IDC candidates.
