As an Instructor Development Course (IDC) Staff Instructor, you'll help to train future PADI Instructors while gaining in-depth instructor-trainer knowledge.

IDC Staff Instructors are an integral part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), you'll present topics in the IDC and help shape PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors into PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors.
