PADI Instructor Course (IDC)

The PADI IDC further hones your leadership and teaching skills to prepare you for life as a PADI Instructor.  It's required to complete this course before you can attend your PADI Instructor Exam (IE).  

The IDC consists of two sections, the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program.
