Course Director

For anyone who wants more in the diving industry.

The IDD Course Directors are the masters of diving instructors. The course director takes care of the instructor training. You teach instructors the best of the best and show them how to transfer knowledge to students. IDD is known for its quality and safety and this of course also applies to the training courses at the highest level of the organisation. The IDD Course Director training is for anyone who wants more in the diving industry. As an IDD Course Director you need to have a high degree of confidence in what you know, as you are challenged by instructors, divers and colleagues. Therefore, the information you convey must always be safe and accurate.
