PADI, the world's largest diver training organisation, offers the finest instructor training programs available. The PADI IDC provides a professional learning experience in which you will learn how to teach diving, utilising the most successful program in existence - the PADI system of diver education. Not only will you learn how to teach in the classroom, pool and open water environments, you will also learn how to effectively use PADI's teaching aids and instructional support materials.
