The PADI IDC Indonesia Career Development Program with multi
Award Winning Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod offers the very best
of training available within the Industry.
Having worked within the diving industry for well over a
decade Holly has travelled the world working within a range of diving related
roles and now delivers her knowledge and experience to new instructor looking
to make their mark in this exciting and rewarding industry. Having received
multiple awards for the instructor training programs she offers and her pure
personal commitment to the overall diving industry she has now developed an
instructor program that prepares candidates for more than just passing the PADI
Instructor Examination, but for a really rewarding and successful career within
the recreational diving industry.
The program is essentially divided into two parts; the pre
IDC prep program and the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). The Pre-IDC
preparation program is purely designed to review, refine and develop the skills
and knowledge from the Divemaster Course. It runs over a period of 4-5 days
before the start of the IDC and helps candidates to make a smooth transition
into their new careers as scuba diving instructors. Sessions take place in the
classroom and the swimming pool. The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)
runs over a 12 day period and covers the entire PADI IDC syllabus as well as a
number of additional components added to the course to enhance candidates
learning experience and help them to make a smooth transition into life as a
scuba diving instructor.
Classroom sessions will involve participating in
presentations and workshops such as Marketing, The 4 E’s Sales Workshop, Diver
Retention, Diver Acquisition, The Business of Diving and Risk Management.
During classroom sessions our Platinum PADI Course Director will introduce the
PADI Standards and Procedures that apply to each individual PADI Program or
Course. The classroom will also be used to prepare for the PADI Examinations by
way of practice exams.
In Confined Water candidates will take part in a variety of
workshops including the Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) Workshop, The PADI Skill
Circuit Workshop, The Rescue Workshop and a Student Control and Positioning
Workshop. In Confined Water candidates will also get to practice their skills
and rescue exercises further. One of the main features of the Confined Water
Sessions will involve candidates practicing and developing their Confined Water
Teaching Presentations whilst being evaluated by Platinum PADI Course Director
Holly Macleod.
Open Water sessions are conducted on our purpose built
training site and also involve participating in a variety of Open Water
Workshops such as the Rescue Workshops, The CESA and Descent Workshops, Skills
Workshops and The Adventures in Diving Workshop. The main segment of the Open
Water Sessions are where the candidates practice and develop their Open Water
Teaching Presentations whilst being evaluated by Platinum PADI Course Director
Holly Macleod. Whilst in Open Water candidates will get to practice and develop
their Rescue Exercise & demonstration and any other skills they wish.
A whole range of additional workshops have been designed and
integrated into the program by Holly and are purely intended to help candidates
make a smoother transition into the industry. The additional workshops include
dive site setup and management for training activities, student control
workshops, certifying students and online paperwork and administration which
are generally obstacles that new instructors face when starting their new
careers. The idea is to give new instructors the knowledge along with some
helpful tips on how to conduct their training activities and process their own
certifications meaning that when starting out in a new position they will
already have the knowledge and confidence to manage their own entire programs
from start to finish.
