PADI IDC and PADI IE - Mallorca / Majorca, Spain
OVERVIEW
The Instructor Development Course (IDC) can be divided into two parts: the first part is the Assistant Instructor Course (AI) and the second is the Open Water Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI). This opens up the possibility of becoming either an AI or an OWSI from the Divemaster level.
For those who are Instructors from other Scuba Training Organisations and wish to crossover to PADI you only need to do the OWSI course.
After the IDC, candidates must sit and pass a PADI Instructor Examination (IE) conducted by PADI staff before obtaining the ranking of PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. There is an IE scheduled in Mallorca directly after each IDC.
REQUIREMENTS
- 100 dives*
- Medical Certificate
- Be a Divemaster P.A.D.I or equivalent
- 1 year as a diver*
- At least 18 years old
- EFR with CPR within last 2 years
*With 60 dives and 6 months as a diver the candidate can participate in the IDC but cannot be certified until they have completed both requirements.
COURSE DURATION
The total length of the IDC (AI+OWSI) plus exam (IE) is 14 days. In this period of time we include the IDC, the IE and the Emergency First Response Instructor Course. This last course is not mandatory but does increase your employability and earning potential after graduation.
It is important to highlight that this is a FULL TIME course. Do NOT expect this to be a holiday!
