The Instructor Exam is conducted by Examiners from PADI and runs over 2 or 2 and a half days. The IE examines your theoretical knowledge in all required areas as well as your classroom and in water teaching and presentation skills. Both confined and open water evaluations are conducted.
Your rescue skills are also examined. The IE's have a set schedule around the world and the IDC's run by the Course Directors are scheduled to fit in with the IE.
IE Schedule Notes:
1. The timeframe of the IE may vary depending on location, logistics and numbers of candidates.
The most likely timeframes are;
a) Evening Orientation and exam(s) followed by two days of evaluation.
b) Morning Orientation followed by all evaluation over remaining two days.
Refer to the dates below for an indication of the timeframe of any particular IE. These may change
as circumstances dictate.
2. The schedule is subject to change. Be sure to use the most recent edition. You will find the most current
IE schedule in the Instructor Development Calendar on www.padi.com
3. While every effort is made to conduct all scheduled IE's, PADI reserves the right to cancel, reschedule,
relocate or combine IE's as staffing logistics and enrollments dictate.
