Here is a common conversation that I often have!
“How should I prepare for my PADI IDC?”
“It’s a great question! Not least because the more prepared that you are, the easier life is.
However, it’s much more important than just having an easier course.
PADI IDCs are FULL of wonderful teaching techniques that will help you in the future.
The more you’re prepared, the less stress you’ll be under.”
“Stress? gosh! what stress?”
“Well, you can’t learn two things at the same time! If you’re revising Physics while I’m trying to teach you about giving a classroom teaching presentation, you’ll bound to feel stress”
“So? what you’re saying is that I should brush up on physics?”
“You should brush up on as much as you can.
All theory subjects.
Get familiar with the latest PADI Instructor Manual, and find out as much as you can about the teaching presentations that you’ll be making in the pool and classroom.
“How can I revise. What’s the best way?”
“Everyone is different. But I suggest that you get your hands on as many current quizzes and mock exam papers as you can.
The ones that reflect what PADI are asking this year”

What people have been saying about my online training.
The Complete PADI IDC Preparation Course is US$ 109.00
PADI Dive theory FULLY covered on this online course
On most PADI IDCs, there is usually very little training about dive theory.
The IDC is more about learning how to communicate to others. Finding out techniques to effective teach others.
Therefore it’s expected that you’ve remembered everything from your PADI Divemaster exams, and that you’ve been doing some revision.
This online course takes you through EVERY topic that you’ll likely to find on your PADI Exams, but at the same time you’ll find tips on how to teach these subjects to others.
Complete PADI IDC Preparation for Pool teaching
During your PADI IDC, you’ll be asked to “teach” some skills in the pool. You’ll teach other IDC participants pretending to be students.
You’ll have to BRIEF the skill, DEMONSTRATE the skill. Then correct any problems that your pretend students make.
You’ll have to organise the lesson and at the end give a DEBRIEF.
Of course you’ll have to do all of this in the real world afterwards.
It’s imperative that you’re comfortable with these methods, and that you know the reasons why they’re there.
Helping you along the way
In this full IDC Preparation Course, you’ll see videos explaining the psychology behind this teaching, and you’ll learn wonderful techniques that will make you very successful on the IDC and in the real world once you’re an instructor.
How to make a classroom presentation
One of the most stressful parts of a PADI IDC is when you have to make a classroom presentation.
In the Full IDC Preparation Course, you’ll find out what needs to be included (and what doesn’t need to be included)
You’ll see that it’s a lot easier than you think!
The Complete PADI IDC Preparation Course is US$ 109.00 (or equivalent in your own currency)
