Pro Dive Cairns Instructor Development Course (IDC) is a two-week program combining a mixture of classroom academic modules, training in the pool & two days are spent on Fitzroy Island.
After the IDC it is highly recommended that you attend an extra 2 day program called the IDC plus. This is a course designed by Pro Dive and is unique to their IDC training program. It offers additional training in classroom and pool presentation techniques that prepare you for the Instructor Evaluation (IE) exam.
During the IDC program Pro Dive also run an "equipment & equipment sales" course. You also have the opportunity to further your education by completing the Emergency First Aid Instructor Course or other specialties. These can be done before or after your IE.
