Instructor Development Course

A nine-day programme preparing candidates for the PADI Instructor Examination. Kappi-Divers offers the IDC as a standalone from €1,499, or as a special package that includes EFR Instructor and Nitrox Instructor for €1,799 — both options require materials (€1,299) plus examination and PADI fees on top.

The school holds PADI 5 Star Career Development Center status and has three active Course Directors, which is the designation that allows a centre to run IDCs. The team includes people who trained as instructors under the same system and have been teaching at the school since its early years.

Candidates going through the IDC here benefit from a school that runs a full range of courses — from Bubblemaker to Master Scuba Diver — which means real student contact during training rather than a simulated environment.

The IDC package option (IDC + EFRI + Nitrox Instructor) is worth considering for anyone planning to teach at a full-service centre: having all three qualifications at the point of certification broadens immediate employability.
