Similar to the partnership between AI's and Instructors, IDC Staff Instructors work with Course Directors as important team members in the instructor training process. As a Staff Instructor you may assist instructor development programs and instructor-level continuing education programs. You can also teach the PADI Assistant Instructor Course, a responsibility only you and a PADI Course Director share.

Our IDC Staff Course gives you at least two full-days with the Course Director prior to an IDC, then you'll take part in a complete IDC program. Even if you don't have the goal of becoming a Course Director, the Staff Course will give you a real "vitamin injection" in your existing teaching techniques.
