Who should take this course？
The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made up of two parts – the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Most dive professionals complete the entire IDC and go on to attend an Instructor Examination (IE), which is the final step to earn a PADI Instructor certification. Successfully completing just the AI course results in a PADI Assistant Instructor qualification. When an AI is ready to progress, attending an OWSI program allows entry into an IE to earn a full PADI Instructor rating.
Dive professionals who hold an instructor rating with another diver training organization may be eligible to enroll directly in the OWSI program. This recognizes prior instructor training and provides a path to become a PADI Instructor. A PADI Divemaster who has been a certified diver for six months may enroll in the PADI Instructor Development Course.
You also need:
•At least 60 logged dives and 100 dives to attend an IE.
•Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months.
•A medical statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months You also need to be an Emergency First Response Instructor, but you can earn this rating during your instructor training.

How can you start learning ?
Register for IDC Online – PADI’s eLearning option that lets you study independently at your own pace before class. There are nine interactive knowledge development sections. Prestudy online saves classroom time, which allows more time for practicing the skills that distinguish you as a PADI Instructor.
Also, sign up for Dive Theory Online, if you haven’t already completed it or it’s been more than a year since you went through it. The program is a straightforward review of dive physics, physiology, skills, equipment and environment, plus using the Recreational Dive Planner (RDP). By successfully completing Dive Theory Online, you can get credit for the dive theory exam requirement during your IDC.

What's an IE?
An Instructor Examination (IE) is a two-day evaluative program that tests an instructor candidate’s teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, skill level, understanding of the PADI System, and attitude and professionalism. PADI IEs are standardized and conducted by specially trained PADI Instructor Examiners. The IE location, testing environment and examination sessions are organized to be as objective as possible to fairly and consistently evaluate a candidate’s abilities. Only those who meet the IE performance requirements earn the respected PADI Instructor certification. There is a fee for attending an IE.
Comment from Candidate (After Pass the IE）
I passed the IE on 18/19 October after successfully completing the IDC with East Dive in Tokyo. This would not have been possible without the extra effort and attention given by Rodney and Usami-san. Amazing how much patience they have and how much support they gave during the IDC. I went to the IE not knowing how I would do by comparison, only hearing that the IE pass rate is not 100 percent. I quickly gained confidence and realized that the preparation provided by East Dive was exceptional. Thank you very much and looking forward to continued progression as a diving professional.

I want to also express my appreciation for the guidance and support.during the past few months. Because of your training, we knew what to expect from the IE and consequently everything went very well. The weather did not cooperate and we have very rough conditions during the open water portion and rescue simulation, but we all performed well, which is a reflection on how you trained us. Thanks again.
