If you are thinking of a career change in 2022, than this is it. The PADI Divemaster and PADI IDC Indonesia Scuba Diving Instructor Development Course (IDC) in the Gili Islands will offer experienced divers the perfect opportunity to begin a new career introducing others to the underwater world.
There have been many changes within Instructor level training over the previous two years and of course Industry Leading Multiple Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod has worked with these changes.
The PADI IDC Curriculum has shifted to a more online basis, which basically means less time presenting the individual topics in the classroom. Although in some cases this would mean that certain topics will never get introduced during the curriculum, Holly does this slightly differently. Candidates will be introduced to topics through the online process and Holly will recap, whilst using personal real life experienced based scenario’s to not only reinforce online learning, but to put it into real word situations based upon actual circumstances. These situations will then be discussed and played out in real time. This way Instructor candidates will not only absorb the syllabus, but will understand its place in terms of application and purpose.
The online access is granted to every PADI IDC candidate and then it is up to them to complete the portions of training as and when. If you are taking the program with Holly the online portions are also scheduled, so as the corresponding recap and situational analysis can be aligned with seamless precision to maximise student learning and potential.
For example; the DSD online portion will be undertaken by the student; than the next day Holly will recap, analyse and discuss. After which, candidates will complete the practical element in the pool and further more in the ocean. This will be done in sequence for all PADI Courses and Programs.
Within the last few years more emphasis has been placed on the Rescue Diver course, so therefore the same principal applies i.e. the online portion, the recap, the analysis, the discussion and then the practical. Holly then builds on this by following up with the PADI Emergency First Responder Instructor Course (EFRI) as this would be the next natural step. One great thing is that being a DAN Dive Medic and a PADI Diving Emergency Medic Responder, Holly will add a variety of Dive Medic elements to the PADI EFRI program.
Other changes allow for the use of increased practical elements during the program and, as was always the case with a program conducted by Holly, frees up some time to explore these practical elements in a more real life experience based situational setting providing candidates with the experience of dealing with unexpected occurrences.
Another recent addition to the curriculum is the exploration of continuing education. This can of course be conducted in a variety of way’s dependent upon the Course Director, but for Holly this means that we will fully explore the entire process. So for Deep Diving continuing education programs candidates will again do the online portion, analysis and discussion; but will actually role play a Deep Dive training session and will include the referral procedure by way of assessment to ascertain diver readiness; as an instructor should really do in a real life situation.
Other changes are based on tightening the schedule, which can only be achieved through experience of teaching Instructor level programs in the Gil islands for the past decade.
So all in all the following 2022 PADI IDC Schedule is designed to not only provide professional divers with the best possible training available, but to effectively use their time in a way that can only result in a successful career teaching others to dive.
