Professional
Instructor Examiners from PADI International or PADI Local
Area Offices conduct IEs to confirm that instructor candidates
meet the requirement for their certification as a PADI Instructors.
The IE is a two-day program that evaluates your diving knowledge
and skills, as well as your ability to deliver teaching
presentations in the classroom, confined water and open
water. Although the evaluation is pass/fail, you have the
opportunities to retake most initial presentations, if necessary.
With the preparation you get from your Course Director,
your IDC and some additional independent study the likelihood
of successfully completing your first IE is high.
Some dive centers guarantee you to pass an IE - we prefer
to guarantee you a high qualtity instructor course, since
this is the only part we can influence.
The IE is splitted
in four parts:
1. Written Exams ( Dive theory - 60 Questions & Standards
50 Questions)
2. Knowledge Development Presentation
3. Teaching in Confined Water (Presentation & Skill
Cirquit)
4. Teaching in Open Water (Presentations & Rescue Demo)
Prerequisites:
1. Successfully participated
in an IDC or OWSI within the last 12 months.
2. Be a certified diver since
6 months, have logged a 100 open water dives in your logbook.
Duration: min. 2 days
The program often starts in the evening before with an "IE
Orientation" and ends on the second day in the afternoon.
The schedule always depends on the location and amount of
candidates participating.
