During the Instructor Development Course you will use the latest teaching techniques, the complete system of PADI support materials, and will be continuously assessed on your teaching and presentation skills.
Our team of Course Directors and Master Instructors is committed to your success at the Instructor Examination (IE). They also want to make sure that you are comfortable with teaching afterwards. The Instructor program at Bans Diving exceeds the minimum required by PADI in terms of time and number of presentations you will prepare.
The programme is taught in a dedicated classroom, the confined water sessions are held in one of our two large swimming pools and the open water sessions on one of our three dive boats. Our facilities will enable you to study and prepare in a relaxed and chilled atmosphere. Read more about the facilities.
One day off is planned between AI and OWSI. Once you've completed the Instructor program, Koh Tao will be the location for the Instructor Exams that is run by PADI Asia Pacific once a month.
