contact us with any questions, we are
more than happy to answer them, or come
to our Free Pre ID days. |
| |
| PADI
Instructor Examination (IE) |
| Instructors
exams are conducted by examiners sent
from PADI International (USA). The IE is
two day evaluation program that test
you, the instructor in you; teaching
ability, dive theory knowledge, water
skill level, understanding of the PADI
system, attitude and professionalism. |
- Examiner
Jeff Meyers debriefs Kevin's
successful Open Water presentation.
- IE's
typically start the evening around 5
pm before the dates on the program
schedule with an orientation and one
of the theory exams.
|
| The
usual schedule runs something like this: |
Evening:
Orientation and Theory Exams.
Day 1: Standards Exam, Confined
Water & Academic Teaching.
Day 2: Open Water, Rescue and
'Make-Ups'. |
| |
| Exact
schedule and times will be given at the
orientation and is ultimately the
decision of the examiner. |
| |
| There
are other IEs held around the
Philippines. We're happy to schedule
IDC's/ OWSI programs before these and to
assist with transport to, and
accommodation at the IE venue. Please
contact us if the date of our program
does not suit you. |
| |
| Successful
Instructor Candidates |
| To
attend an IE you must: |
- Successfully
complete a IDC/ OWSI program within
12 months of the start date of the
IE.
- Have
been a certified diver for at least
6 months and have proof of at least
100 logged dives.
- Present
an Instructor Certificate of
Completion signed by a Course
Director.
- Present
an IE enrollment form and
appropriate IE fee.
|
| Medic
First Aid Instructor Program |
| As
an Open Water Scuba Instructor you're
certified to conduct Experience programs
through to Dive master level. Many of
these programs require CPR training
prior to certification. We believe that
you should be able to offer your
students that CPR training. |
| |
| Without
the MFA Instructor rating you reduce
your chances of employment and increase
the risk of your students going to a
colleague or rival to complete their
training. Why give your students away? |
| |
| Medic
First Aid meets the requirements for: |
- Rescue
diver.
- Dive
master.
- Assistant
Instructor.
- IDC/
OWSI.
|
| Teaching
the MFA course has other advantages. Not
only can you emphasize of being able to
help someone in an emergency, but also
you can market Medic First Aid to
non-divers as a recruitment tool for new
divers, as personal enhancement and as a
community service course. |
| |
| Your
MFAI will be run over one day during
which you'll have the opportunity to
practice your first aid and teaching
skills. You'll learn about the
methodology behind MFA as well as
covering interesting topics such as 'the
Psychology of Resuscitation'. Held after
(possible before) the IE, it's a
relaxed, straightforward, "no
brainer" day that we're sure you'll
find very rewarding. |
| |
| Assistant
Instructors can also take the MFAI
course. As a PADI Instructor (or AI),
don't you owe it to yourself to complete
your training? |
| |
| Please
note that although equivalencies for CPR
(such as "Red Cross" or St.
Johns Ambulance') apply to the IDC and
IE. You must have completed the MFA
Course at some point prior to starting
MFA Instructor training. |
| |
| Master
Scuba Diver Preparation Program |
| If
you really want to get ahead as an
Instructor you need to be able offer
your students a full range of courses to
cater to their interest. What better
start then being confident in teaching
five specialties? |
| |
| One
of the biggest fears when graduating
from an IE is facing a student and
teaching a course for the first time -
especially if you're not as familiar
with as you are with the Open Water
Diver Course. As experience dive
educators we've been there before. Our
Specialty Instructor training programs
familiarize you with the course content
and standards for each of you chosen
Specialties. |
| |
| As
with the other programs we've mentioned
we bring years of experience, offering
you real life tips, hints and
suggestions for each course, giving you
additional confidence and your students
a more complete education. |
| |
| If
you're still not convinced, let us
remind you of some of the other benefits
completing specialty instructor training
with us: |
- To
complete the MSDT prep course It is
not required that you have 25
certifications.
Note: You must have 25
certifications prior applying to
PADI for your MSDT rating though.
- You
need only to document 10 rather than
20 logged dives in the area.
- You
submit the least expensive
application to PADI.
|
| Staff
Instructor |
| As
an Instructor, are you working hard
towards the goal of becoming a Master
Instructor or maybe you're looking
higher to Course Director training? |
| |
| In
order to become a Master Instructor you
must be certified as a Staff Instructor
and have certified at least five
Assistant Instructors. |
| |
| There
are also many other benefits to becoming
a Staff Instructor, not least of which
is reducing burnout by increasing the
number of different courses that you are
able to teach. Staff Instructor will add
Assistant Instructor and teaching
portions of the IDCs to your portfolio. |
| |
There
are two days of preparation before you
audit an entire IDC to earn this
certification.
You'll find the two-day run up to the
IDC itself both challenging and
rewarding. There's a chance to brush up
you own demonstration and teaching
skills as well time to learn about
scoring and critiquing instructor
candidates. |
| |
| We
expect the very best from our Staff
Instructors and look for professional
appearance and conduct trough the
course. You'll see each and every aspect
of the IDC along with all the required
materials and paper work and be fully
involved at all times ensuring that
you're ready to assume the
responsibilities of a Staff Instructor. |
