The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) with Multi Award Winning Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod is well known as the best place for scuba diving professionals to develop their skills, knowledge and education to forge a real future within the recreational diving industry. It’s important to consider why it’s considered the best and explore the terms associated with success such as “Elite Instructor”, “Platinum PADI Status”, “Frequent Trainer Program Awards” and “Career Development Center” or “CDC”.

First of all it’s important to consider the person behind the program. PADI Course Director Holly Macleod conducts the entire course and has a wealth of experience within the industry having worked in a range of scuba related positions and knows firsthand what it takes to be successful within the recreational diving industry regardless of the specific job role. During her working life she has dived and worked in many of the major global diving locations including, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia and Central America and therefore is in a perfect position to advise new instructors about working within various global diving locations. Having well over a decade of global experience within the diving industry allows Holly to be able to advise new Instructor graduates about specific job opportunities within specific areas including what exactly will be expected of them by potential employers and what they themselves should expect from these prospective employers. Another advantage of Holly’s vast previous experience is that she can advise new Instructor about what it’s like working in specific areas including what they can expect from the local people, attitude, and culture, diving and work culture.

Now to some of the above mentioned terms such as “Platinum PADI Status”, “Frequent Trainer Program Awards” and “Career Development Center” or “CDC”. The Frequent Trainer Program (FTP) is a PADI recognition scheme aimed to congratulate, applaud and reward the most productive PADI Course Directors based upon the previous year. Awards are given in the form of either Silver, Gold or Platinum status.

Over the course of 2015 Holly issued nearly 500 Instructor level certifications including OWSI certifications, PADI IDC Staff Instructor certifications and a range of different specialty Instructor certifications meaning she is one of, if not the most productive PADI Course Director in the year of 2015. For her efforts over the year she has been awarded the PADI Platinum Status for 2016.

All Instructor level training with Holly takes place at the only PADI 5 Star IDC Career Development Center on Gili Trawangan and the first PADI CDC Center to be established in the Gili Islands and the entire Lombok region. A PADI Career Development Center of CDC for short is a classification award that is given to Five Star Instructor Development Centers and Five Star Instructor Development Dive Resorts that dedicate their business activities in the area of professional development of PADI Scuba Diving Instructors. Career Development Centers are awarded for their pure commitment in providing the highest possible standards of professional level training offering career orientated training programs as well as job assistance and placement programs. The Instructor level training programs offered by Multi Award Winning Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod are specifically designed to provide divers with the opportunity to live the dive lifestyle and Go PRO. The program itself has also previously been recognized via the PADI “Commitment to Instructor Development” Award sighting pure commitment to the industry and to professional instructor training.

To become part of this exciting training opportunity there are 10 programs run throughout the year so it’s easy for potential candidates to plan the best possible time to enroll.

The course take place on an 11 day schedule with an additional 4 days of pre IDC preparation. The preparation generally reviews, perfects and masters the skills and knowledge from the Divemaster program and ensures a smooth transition into the 11 day Instructor Development Course (IDC)

Being praised by PADI in a multitude of categories is a fantastic achievement and certainly shows that the PADI IDC Gili Islands program is one of the best possible training options for professional level divers and Holly is a true industry leader within the field of professional PADI Instructor training and development. But it’s also important to find out what the previous instructor candidates thought of their training and personal development during this exclusive program. An easy way to see past present and future candidates in action is to log into Facebook and check out the PADI IDC Gili Islands Page which also keeps readers up to date with the latest news about what’s happening with Instructor Development. To read first hand reviews of previous candidates we also now have set up a PADI IDC Indonesia TripAdvisor page which allows candidates to review and document their experiences.
