PADI INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE HOUSTON
At Sugar Land Dive Center, we offer two great ways to complete your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC):
-
IDC on Demand
Want flexibility? With our IDC on Demand, you can begin your course at a time that suits you best. We'll schedule your course to coincide with the next available PADI Instructor Exam, ensuring you're ready to take your exam right after completing your IDC. -
Scheduled IDC Sessions
If you prefer a set timeline, we offer scheduled IDC's throughout the year. These courses typically run over 8 days and always coincide with a scheduled PADI Instructor Exam, providing you with a clear and structured path to earning your certification.
Our next PADI Instructor Development Course starts on Saturday, May 3, 2025, with the Instructor Exam scheduled for May 17-18, 2025, in Dallas.
