The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), provides a professional learning experience in which you will learn how to teach diving skills within the PADI system. You learn the technique of classroom and lecture presentations, confined and open water tuition and the use of the PADI teaching aids, such as video, CD-Roms and manuals.

Split into two main sections, the full PADI IDC comprises Assistant Instructor (AI) and Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI). You must complete the AI before progressing to the OWSI. The IDC is designed to lead you into your Instructor Exam (IE) with confidence.
