PADI Assistant Instructor Course

The PADI Assistant Instructor Course is your first step toward becoming a PADI Instructor.

What is the AI Course?

The PADI Assistant Instructor course is the first portion of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). It is a compulsory step for any diver who wants to become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. Most professional divers will take it integrated as part of their IDC Course but you can also follow those two courses separately to get various advantages.

The main two reasons to take the AI and the IDC courses as separate components are time and money. Each course takes about a week, so if you can’t get 15 days off straight then doing them separately might fit your schedule nicely. The Instructor Development Course as a whole, with the Instructor Examination (IE) and the PADI fees, is certainly a hefty budget. So splitting it might help your finances, allowing you more time to save some money.

Why Taking the AI Course?

The main two reasons to take the AI and the IDC courses as separate components are time and money. Each course takes about a week, so doing them separately might fit your schedule better. The Instructor Development Course as a whole, with the Instructor Examination (IE) and the PADI fees, is certainly a hefty budget. So splitting it might help your finances.

It allows you also to be more prepared for your IDC and increase your success rate for the IE. Some students might struggle with the amount of information and new skills they must assimilate within 15 days. As a PADI Assistant Instructor, you not only gain additional experience as a PADI Professional, but you also start learning the PADI system of diver education. You can therefore act as an instructional scuba assistant and assume limited teaching responsibilities. It’s a great way to gain experience in order to become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor later on.

Taking the PADI Assistant Instructor Course alone is also a great way of finding out if being a Scuba Instructor is something for you. You will be certified to conduct a larger array of PADI programs so you get to experience the life of a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

How Taking the AI Benefits You?

Working as an Assistant Instructor immediately as you improve your employability within the diving industry. You increase your earning potentials giving you a way to fund your IDC course if money was an issue. 

You will be able to give Knowledge Development Presentations to students, teach Confined Water sessions in pool, increase ratios of students to Instructors, develop your control, safety and problem solving skills. You will be assisting certified PADI Instructors and learning all the tricks and tips to be a successful Instructor.

Basically, you will have time to develop yourself as an Instructor. So when it is time to pass the Instructor Exam or teach your first PADI Open Water students, you are ready and confident.
