What is a PADI Staff Instructor?
A PADI Staff Instructor is an experienced PADI Instructor who has taken additional training to assist PADI Course Directors in conducting Instructor Development Courses (IDCs). This enhanced role allows you to independently teach and certify PADI Assistant Instructors (AI) and deliver the AI portion of the Academic, Confined Water, and Open Water teaching presentations.
As a PADI Staff Instructor, you play a crucial part in the instructor development process, providing invaluable counselling and extra training for IDC and IDC Staff Instructor candidates. Your responsibilities extend to assisting with training during instructor-level Continuing Education programs, such as PADI Specialty Instructor training courses.
By developing in-depth evaluation and counselling skills, you help shape the next generation of PADI Professionals. Additionally, your extensive knowledge and experience will supplement the Course Director’s expertise, making you an indispensable part of the team.
