Prior Knowledge - Be Prepared
So, make sure that you’re ready for your PADI Instructor Training.
Being prepared for an upcoming course is a lot like packing for a trip. Just as you wouldn’t want to show up at the airport without your passport, you don’t want to start a class without the proper supplies and knowledge.
Before embarking on your academic journey, be sure to do your research and come prepared.
If you want to improve your chances of remembering what you learn, make sure to brush up on your prior knowledge before you start learning something new.
Also find out what materials you’ll need and make sure you have them.
Read up on the subject so you have a basic understanding of what will be covered.
And most importantly, don’t forget your sense of adventure! By approaching your studies with excitement and curiosity, you’ll be sure to get the most out of your experience.
Tips on what you'll need for your PADI IDC
PADI Materials
You’ll need to buy the 2024 version of the PADI IDC Crew Pack.
You can buy this from any PADI 5 star IDC Centre.
It includes a lot of online preparation that you need to complete before the start of your course.
Dive Theory
PADI’s optional Dive Theory online program is available.
If you complete the program it’s possible that you can get credit towards the theory section of your PADI IDC.
CAUTION!! You’ll still have to sit your theory and standards on your PADI Instructor Exam.
So it’s really important that you’re fully up to speed in this area.
Medical
You’ll need to have a medical certificate signed by a physician within the last 12 months stating that you’re fit to dive without any restrictions.
CPR and First Aid Training
You’ll need to have completed an EFR primary and secondary course within the past 24 months.
Emergency First Aid Instructor
To be in teaching status as a PADI Instructor, you’ll need to be an EFR Instructor. However, you can achieve this during your instructor training.
