Kevin, Will, David, Anthony, Simon and Keith. They all turned up to our latest PADI Instructor Development Course expecting to find out how to pass an Instructor Examination.
How wrong they were!
They have learnt so much more than that! They have learnt how to show their future Students a brand new life!
To be honest, passing a PADI Instructor Exam is pretty easy! It’s the same as all other exams; if you know the answers – then it’s easy. If you’re not properly prepared – then it’s difficult.
Being a PADI Instructor is NOT about passing an exam. It’s about keeping your customers happy.
That means:
+ teaching them to be safe and careful divers,
+ giving your customers a new and exciting lifestyle,
+ being able to solve their problems in a quick and empathetic way,
+ using teaching methods that suit each individual person.
+ and much more….
Of course these IDC Candidates are prepared for their Instructor Exam in 2 days time.. but most of all they are prepared for the “Real World” of teaching.
“Bring it on” they are saying.. not only for the Exam, but for Life Ahead!
All too often I hear of people that think that an IDC is full of things you need to do to pass an Instructor Exam, and then forget everything and follow Instructors who have been teaching in the same way for many years!
What a waste of time and money that would be!! I make sure that everything that I teach on the Instructor Development Course is relevant in the “Real World” I teach techniques that modern Industries use in developing their management teams. I teach the same methods that have made me a very successful PADI Instructor over the past 20 years.
If you are already a PADI Insructor and want to find out about some really effective and fun ways of teaching, why not ask me about details of my next NLP for Instructor Course?
