Prerequisites
Your costs
The training to PADI Instructor starts always with an IDC (Instructor Development Course) - the preparation for PADI Instructor and an IE (Instructor Examination) - the exam for PADI Instructor.
We offer a nice and quiet lerning atmosphere to our IDC candidates. For classroom presentations we have a seperate seminar room equipped with modern multimedia equipment and WIFI. Skills will be practised in our heated training pool in the hotel Maritim. For open water skills and dives we may use beaches on both sides of the island, this way we are independet to sea conditions. The water temperature is between 18°C to 25°C depending on season. The incredible variety of fishes of the Canary Islands make even the training dives interesting.
First you need to attend an Instructor Development Course (IDC).
If you are already instructor in another organisation and you have experience in training of scuba students you could skip the first part of the IDC. You only have to attend the OWSI part of the IDC. You may also attend the full IDC, we recommend this to all instructors who have not been teaching recently or who have only little experience in teaching.
For PADI AIs applies the same rule as for Crossover candidates. You need to attend the OWSI-part only, the second half of the IDC. In case your PADI AI training has been long ago and/or you haven't been active teaching instructor for a long time, we recommend to attend the full IDC.
The IDC is a preperation for the examination IE only. You can't fail the IDC, you will be trained to pass. You will repeat over and over again those skills which are not good enough to pass an IE until you have reached instructor level. At the end of the IDC you will need the signature of your PADI Course director to attend the IE. He might decide that your skills and knowledge are still insufficiant to pass the IE. In this case he will give you all options to improve your skills, in worst case he will recommend to repeat the full IDC at a later time if your skills can't be improved within the 12 days of the IDC. You can only fail in the IE and this is exactly what we want to prevent.
What makes a teacher successful is not what he knows, it's more what his students know after they have finished their training.
Thomas will conduct the PADI AI training and will assist the course director during the OWSI training. As Emergency First Resonse Instructor Trainer Thomas will also conduct your EFR Instructor course during the IDC.
We can make reservations directly here with us in the Hotel MARITIM****. This is the best option as you will be right there where the IDC takes place. You may book a single bedroom or share a double bedroom with another IDC-candidate. This last option is available only if there are enough other candidates who would also like to share a room and therefore can't be guaranteed.
