The PADI Instructor Examination IE is a standardized, objective evaluation conducted by PADI Instructor Examiners from PADI Asia Pacific who fly to Kota Kinabalu several times a year.
The Instructor Examination (IE) is a 2 day examination whereby Instructor candidates must successfully complete the following segments:
• 5-part Theory Exam.
• PADI Systems, Standards and Procedures Exam.
• Knowledge Development Prescriptive Teaching Presentation.
• Demonstration quality five skill circuit.
• Confined Water Teaching Presentation.
• Rescue of an Unresponsive Diver at the surface to demonstration quality using a pocket mask or mouth to mouth.
• Open Water Teaching Presentation with two skills combined (skills can be from the Open Water, Advanced Open Water or Rescue Diver courses, assigned by the I.E)
The timeframe of the IE may vary depending on location, logistics and numbers of candidates.
The most likely timeframes are;
