Instructor South Africa

PADI Instructor Development Course in South Africa (IDC)

The PADI Instructor Development Training Process (South Africa)

The PADI Instructor Course throughout Southern Africa is a combination of programs designed to enhance Instructor Candidates abilities as Dive professionals, as well as offer specialised training programs, which are intended to increase your success in a career in Scuba Diving.

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) consists of 2 training phases:

The Assistant Instructor Program (AI)
The Open Water Scuba Instructor Program (OWSI).

The AI program is focused on developing Knowledge Development, Confined Water and Open Water Presentations. Candidates will also be guided through rescue assessments and skills revision in preparation for the OWSI program.

The OWSI program is focused on workshops preparing candidates for the sales and marketing techniques needed to fulfil the role of a rounded instructor capable of working in either retail or resort environments. The OWSI program also prepares candidates to understand the complete Padi System and the media that supports it.

The IDC is then followed by a 2 day Instructor Examination (IE) program conducted by PADI Worldwide.

The IDC emphasises development, not testing. Candidates can relax and concentrate on skill development knowing that making mistakes is part of the learning process. You will be assessed on your readiness to attend an IE during the IDC by means of feedback during individual counselling sessions.

Instructor Development Course (IDC) Prerequisites

To enrol on an IDC, an individual must:

Be at least 18 years of age
Be certified as a PADI Divemaster or hold a leadership level certification with another recreational diver training organisation recognised by PADI.
Submit medical clearance for Scuba diving signed by a physician stating you are FIT TO DIVE. The medical clearance must be current within the previous 12 months. Since an in date medical is also required for the IE phase of the process we suggest that the 12 month period encompasses the final date of the IE you plan to attend. The Physician signing the form may not be the applicant.
Have been certified as a diver for at least 6 months and have completed and logged at least 60 dives (100 dives to attend an IE) and have documentation of experience in deep, NIGHT and navigation diving as documented in your logbook.
Submit proof of CPR and First Aid training within the past 24months. Preferably the PADI EFR course.
Submit documentation of any equivalent certifications for entry level, advanced and rescue certifications issued by another recreational diver training organisation. If submitting an equivalent rescue diver certification, also include copies of first aid training documentation.
If not a PADI divemaster successfully complete the PADI divemaster course diver rescue skills assessment.
