Testimonials: John, OSWI, IDC April 2013, Gili Air, Indonesia

Posted on May 20, 2013 by sanderbuis

Due to odd circumstances, I had the privilege to attend not one, but two IDC’s with Camille. Needless to say they were both amazing learning experiences. Camille’s attention to detail and strict but flexible teaching style meant only the best experience and made the IE a breeze.

His ability to teach in numerous languages makes understanding for multi-lingual classes easy and his experience means he can relate any information to you personally so that you have no trouble with the tricky bits.

Needless to say, if i were asked where to do an IDC i would send the person asking straight to Camille.

Thanks for a great time and making a scruffy kid like me a competent instructor, Camille!

Padi Instructor Examination starts today.

Posted on February 26, 2013 by sanderbuis

Today it is the day for the IDC candidates, the PADI Instructor Examination starts at Gili Trawangan at 16.00 in Villa Ombak.

The IDC candidates of Oceans 5 are well prepared, but how does it work a PADI IE?

To complete your Instructor traning you need to be tested after you complete your IDC, You will only be allowed to take these exams once your IDC has been passed succesfuly, these tests or examinations are needed so that you can certify as an OWSI. The exam is a right of passage for PADI Instructors and is known as the Instructor Examination (IE).

The purpose of the IE is to evaluate your knowledge and skills in order to make sure they are sufficient to earn a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification. It is an evaluation program that tests your teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, water-skills, understanding of the PADI System and attitude and professionalism. The IE is a standardized evaluation conducted by Instructor Examiners who work for the various PADI Offices.

The IE is run by professional PADI Instructor Examiners from the local PADI Regional Headquarters, which goes a long way to ensure that your Instructor assessments are correct and without bias.

You will be tested both on your dive theory and knowledge as well as your personal dive skills and teaching presentations and these will occour in a classroom type environment, additionally these exams take place in both confined (pool) and open water (normally the beach if local dive conditions allow) environments. Confined water environments for the PADI IE is normally restricted to swimming pools to aid administration and logistics.

To pass the IE and to get certified as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor you have to succesfully meet the standards in every section of the Instructor Examination or IE. If you fail at your first attempt at the IE you will be permitted to take a second IE. Your second IE is not allowed to be taken within 5 days of the first and if you wait longer than 1 year after the first one you will need to either take a full IDC again or apply to PADI.
