Whether you complete the IDC as a whole or partake in the OWSI Course you will finish the program with a PADI Instructor Examination which will give you the opportunity to demonstrate what you have learnt during your IDC. During the IE a PADI Instructor Examiner independently and objectively assesses your knowledge and skills, testing everything from dive theory to PADI training standards. PADI is the only certification organization that requires an objective, independent examination to qualify as a professional instructor. This balanced and consistent evaluation process is one of the hallmarks that make PADI professionals the most demanded and respected instructors in the dive industry.

PADI Instructor Examination Prerequisites:
• Successful completion of PADI IDC

PADI Instructor Examination fee is $485 USD. These fees are not covered by your course prices. You will need to pay to PADI directly after your course via credit cards, bank draft or money transfer. See PADI Fees for further information on costs.
