During the PADI Instructor Development programme, you'll learn the PADI System of diver education, standards, and procedures, effective academic teaching presentations, teaching in confined water, conduction open water training dives, the business of diving and additional related topics.

When you complete the IDC, you will have been trained and prepared to successfully attend the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). This is the final step toward your Open Water Scuba Instructor certification.

PADI IE - Instructor Examination (2 1/2 days)

An evaluative programme where you repeat what you have been doing during the IDC. After completion of the IDC or OWSI, you must successfully complete the PADI Instructor Examination (IE) to become an Open Water Scuba Instructor. You will be evaluated on; dive theory, knowledge development presentations, confined-water (pool) teaching, open-water teaching, and general diving skills and professionalism. Nothing new. Generally, candidates find the IE easier than the IDC!
