PADI Assistant instructor training Perhentian Island Malaysia
PADI course director SF Chong's PADI assistant instructor (AI) course is a 5-day course designed to prepare PADI divemasters or equivalent to become PADI assistant instructor. This course begins the PADI instructor development process and is scheduled during the first 4 days of our instructor development course (IDC). The PADI assistant instructor rating authorizes you to function as an instructional assistant and independently conduct certain PADI programs. Successful completion of the AI course also qualifies you to participate in the open water scuba instructor (OWSI) program in Malaysia!

Combination of AI course and the OWSI program into a continuous program makes up the entire IDC.

Chong's unique 2-day free IDC pre-study and preparation workshop is also available to our PADI assistant instructor candidates. In fact this is the ideal way to go for those wanting to be well prepared instructors with greater chance of success at the IE.

You have several training options and flexibility for reaching your professional goals depending on your current certification level, experience level, time restraints, etc. Options include:

• PADI Divemaster may choose just to attend the AI course first and later on after gaining more experience go on to complete the OWSI program.
• PADI Divemaster may attend the full IDC and, upon successful completion, go on to the IE (as long as all other IE prerequisites are met).
• Chong's Free IDC Preparation-Study and Prep Workshop is optional but highly recommended for everyone. Your preparation is the key to success.
