What does internship mean? Why is it free for you?

Internship means that you do not directly pay for the courses, but pay by working off the value of your course instead.

Step by step you will be involved in the daily tasks and duties and you will see how a five star IDC and Technical dive centre is working.

How is the daily schedule?

Internship means a full time job, 5 days per week with working hours at 9:00 AM. to 5:00 PM.
 

What is IDC?

Instructor Development Course.
During your Internship you acquire knowledge to be a professional PADI Instructor. You learn how to teach professionally and safety, how to handle students and situations. During the IDC program you also gain the EFR (Emergency First Response) instructor level, which is essential to become a professional instructor. To reach the PADI OWSI level you need to complete the PADI IE (Instructor Exam), 2 day exam series. In order to be successful in the IE, you participate in an intensive 2-week preparation program before IE. During our IDC program you will learn some specialties at the instructor level, so after a successful IE you will get the PADI OWSI (Open Water Scuba Instructor) and PADI Specialty Instructor level at the same time.
