OVERVIEW
The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made up of the most comprehensive diver training in the world. When dive professionals complete the entire IDC they are permitted to attend an Instructor Examination (IE), which is the final step to earn a PADI Instructor certification.
Dive professionals who hold an instructor rating with another diver training organization are eligible to enroll into the IDC program while recognizing prior instructor training and providing a path to become a PADI Instructor.
