INSTRUCTOR EXAMINATION (IE)
Purpose and Goal
The purpose of the PADI Instructor Examination is to evaluate if an instructor candidate’s knowledge and skills are sufficient to earn a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification. The IE is an evaluative program that tests the instructor candidate’s teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, water skill level, understanding of the PADI System and attitude and professionalism. The goal is to objectively evaluate the instructor candidate’s ability to meet the certification criteria. PADI IEs are standardized evaluations that are conducted by Instructor Examiners who work for the various PADI Offices. The IE location, testing environment and evaluation sessions are selected to ensure the most conducive setting possible for assessing instructor candidate abilities. An instructor candidate who meets the IE performance requirements earns a PADI Instructor certification (as long as all other prerequisite requirements are met).
Instructor Candidate Prerequisites and Enrollment
To enroll in a PADI Instructor Examination, an individual must:
1. Successfully complete an IDC or OWSI Program within 12 months of the start date of the IE.
2. Have documentation of at least 100 logged dives including experience in deep, night and navigation diving.
3. Present an Instructor Certificate of Completion that has both the OWSI/IDC completion date and dive experience sections signed by a PADI Course Director or present an IE Certificate of Participation from a previous IE.
4. Present an IE Enrollment form and appropriate IE fee.
5. Present a medical form attesting to diving fitness, signed by a physician and current within the last 12 months. An instructor candidate who is unsuccessful at an IE must wait at least five days before attending another IE. If unsuccessful at a second IE, the instructor candidate must complete remedial training as prescribed by PADI Instructor Development.
Specialty Schedule:
Master Scuba Diver Trainer
These sets of PADI Courses are designed to give you the ability to teach Specialties.
After you have completed any Specialty Instructor course you will be able to teach that Specialty. After completing five Specialty Course and certifying 25 students you will be able to apply for your MSDT rating. This rating can make a big difference in whether or not employers are interested in you. With the PADI MSDT rating employers know that you are able to bring them more revenue so you are a more valuable employee to the Dive operator.
Depending on what Specialties you pick will determine the number of days it will take to complete the full course.
Required Dives for Specialty Instructor Rating
Boat 1
Deep 2
Digital Underwater Photographer 2
Drift 1
Enriched Air 1 (recommended)
Multilevel 1
Night 1
Search and Recovery 2
Underwater Naturalist 1

Wreck 2
Along with the dives you will be tested on your knowledge to teach these courses. All Knowledge Reviews and Exams must be completed and taken.

The IDC Staff Instructor course requires you to be a MSDT and sit a complete IDC.
