An instructor teaching new divers in shallow water

Description

It’s About Life Transformations—both yours and those around you.

While most other Instructor Development Courses (IDC) run about 11 days and teach you how to pass the Instructor Examination (IE), we at GoPRO Blue Magic feel it is most important to learn how to teach real people!! 
We take the time (15-17 days) to teach you how to succeed in your real test: Your first Open Water Student!!


The Fun Part:

The fun part of instructor training is interacting with course participants while creating friendships that continue long after the course concludes.

You’ll begin networking with other professionals and begin to explore PADI Pro Diving Jobs worldwide.

The Challenging Part:

The challenging part of this course is your personal commitment to the training. The course requires you to complete all the self-study Knowledge Reviews before the course begins and to prepare daily assignments for teaching presentations. Organization and dedication are key.
