In the last survey that PADI conducted, to see what advice should be applied once a candidate has enrolled in an IDC (Instructor Devolpment Course), and what once approved they should implement to not only quickly get a job, but also be successful in their job. new career. The survey was carried out with course directors on 3 continents and this showed:
Train where you want to work....
“Do your IDC where you want to work. Most dive centers want to hire people who have received local training. Local course directors are who companies call when they are looking for help.”—Ash McKnight, Go Pro Diving course director in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
2. Conviértete en Instructor de Especialidades.
“Make yourself as eminently marketable as possible. Don't stop at your OWSI rating. Earn specialty certifications related to where you want to work. In Florida, Wreck Diver and Deep Diver certifications are much more important than Ice and Altitude Diver certifications.”—Kell Levendorf, director of professional development at Rainbow Reef Dive Center in Key Largo, Florida
3. Speak more than one language.
“If you speak nothing but English, you may be limited to working in mainland North America, Hawaii and the Caribbean. But if you show a willingness to learn a language, it will be a big help.”—Luke Inman, course director and owner of Cortez Expeditions in La Paz, Mexico.
4.Market your non-diving skills.
“Bring your A-game and a skill set from previous experience, whether as a mechanic, graphic designer or carpenter. All those skills are in demand.”-In man
5. Show your passion.
“You have to have passion for what you do. If you are not passionate about it, then you will be lacking when it comes to security. That passion makes the course enjoyable and calms people down to help them feel safe.”—Dayana Contino, dive manager at Oceans 5 Dive Resort and IDC in Gili Air, Indonesia
6. Be a people person.
“You need to be a social person. You must be open and able to talk to people. If you have strangers in front of you, you must quickly gain their trust, otherwise something does not work. This always comes down to first impression.”—Continuous
7. Start looking for work before you start your IDC.
“Get resumes and tell people you're starting your IDC. Many stores are renting for a month. People like to hire new instructors; This way you can adapt them to your company.”—McKnight
