When choosing anything these days, it’s always wise to go
with experience. This is also true in diving, particularly when making a career
change which is likely to affect the rest of your working career. The PADI
Divemaster and Instructor Development Course (IDC) are the first steps when
entering into a career in recreational scuba diving.
The Gili IDC Indonesia exclusively provides PADI Instructor
Development Training, operating out of the largest and most experienced group
of PADI Dive Centers across Indonesia. The group currently operates 5 dive
centers around the Gili Islands and Komodo National Park.
We have chosen one of our flagship centers to conduct our
exclusive PADI IDC course. Trawangan Dive is the only PADI 5 Star Career
Development Centers in the Gili Islands. Our center is fully equipped with the
latest facilities, training aids and multimedia. Our training sites are only a
couple of minutes by boat and are fully set up for IDC training purposes.
The Gili IDC not only teaches you to be an instructor and
pass the PADI Instructor Exam, but takes you to a level that far exceeds that
required by the industry, maximizing your career prospects and your enjoyment
of working life and of course also increasing the benefits gained by your
future students.
The course is taught on a 10 day schedule followed by the
PADI EFRI course. We do recommend that people arrive early so as to take full
advantage of our pre-IDC workshops (4 days minimum recommended).
Our PADI Course Director has been working within industry
for over a decade and has worked and dived in multiple locations around the
world. She can advise you of all aspects of working within the recreational
dive industry and what to expect from potential employers.
Most of our previous instructors have found work immediately
after the course, either within the group or with other dive centers. In fact
we often get asked by dive centers to provide instructors. It is fairly easy to
see and meet our previous PADI Instructors by taking a walk around Gili
Trawangan, as many former IDC candidates choose to stay here on the Island to
work.
All information regarding course prices, schedules,
facilities and further information such as a downloadable Information Pack can
be found on our Gili GoPro website. We can also be found on YouTube where our
facilities, previous candidates and training sites can be seen in our IDC
Indonesia video. To keep up to date with latest information on our PADI Career
Programs and to see previous candidates in action check out our PADI IDC GiliTrawangan Facebook Page.
