  I was part of the Feb 2020 IDC with Holly and I can say it was definitely one of my best decisions in life. We were a big group, 18... read more in total, so I was a bit concerned how that was gonna play out, but it end up being really good. Holly is an excellent CD and teacher. Everything I was worrying about regarding theory, once she started her theory classes, everything came together. During training even being such a huge group, we had all the support with Ed and Justin helping out as staff instructor. It was a very pleasant experience and I feel I learnt a great deal during those 18 days of IDC! 100% recommend doing your IDC with HOLLY!

  A big shoutout to Holly, Justin and Ed for making my instructor's course such an amazing experience!

As I was starting to plan my IDC I was looking around... read more for different places and with different course directors, but already at e-mail level it became clear that Holly was the one I would do it with. Professional and personal from the first answer, all through to when she was hugging us good luck for the IE. To me that's one of the things that really shows her professionalism; though having had loads and loads of students, she never made you feel like just "one in the crowd". The whole team were always there to help you with any questions or struggles anyone might have had, staying extra hours making sure everyone were confident in both in-water skills and theory.

The course is challenging (but fun!!), but as many people have stated before me, that just makes the exams seem like a piece of cake.

If you are looking for a place to do your IDC, I would definitely recommend doing it with Holly! Thank you guys for making it such a great time!

  IDC with Holly - I did my idc with Holly. My experience was incredible. It was like a full of zero to hero experience, obviously after finishing my course, was actually feeling as... read more if i am hero.
Well, there was a lot of time during my course. When i was feeling very low. Many ups and downs during my theory and skill sessions. But she made its sure, made me calm, taught me in a best possible way. Just loved it. This is for sure a reason why Holly is being called as "The Best".
Highly recommendable and i must say you dont need to think much. Just choose holly blindfolded if you are seeking for your IDC. Now, i am working as an instructor. Career changing experience it was. She is the reason i am what i am just coz of her.
