PADI Assistant Instructor

The PADI Assistant Instructor Course is the first part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). Being certified as a PADI Assistant Instructor allows you to gain more experience before continuing on to complete the PADI OWSI Program (the second part of the IDC).

Undertaking the PADI AI Course gives you the chance to develop and refine your teaching skills for confined water, knowledge development and open water situations.

Certification as a PADI Assistant Instructor allows you the opportunity to develop your teaching skills by working as an instructional assistant on PADI courses.

In addition, you’ll be able to teach a range of PADI programs, such as the Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty and the Project AWARE Specialty.
