PADI IDC / CDC in Phuket Thailand - Con-ed
Continuing Your Education
Continuing your education expands your career options, making you more valuable as an employee and staff member. It also sets a good example for your future students.
Career opportunities in the recreational dive industry are increasing rapidly, however so is the competition, especially for the most attractive jobs! To maximize your opportunity in the industry you need to be a cut above the average instructor. Instructor continuing education gives you that needed edge, as well as the opportunity to increase your income and expand your own skills.
Here are programs that you should take, and certifications that you should work towards completing as soon as possible.
PADI EFRI - Emergency First Response Instructor (1 day)
This course teaches Instructors how to organize, conduct, market and promote the PADI Emergency First Response Course (EFRI). The course emphasizes hands-on skills practice and demonstrations. We have placed the EFRI Course in between the IDC and IE to give you some additional teaching practice. The EFRI Course is low stress and makes you feel confident and relaxed prior to the IE.
With EFR being a vital part of several PADI certification levels (including, Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor and Instructor Development) it is the one most marketable course in the PADI System of diver education and allows you to offer all-inclusive programs. Students will not have to look elsewhere for the training they need.
Since the Emergency First Response course is not diving specific, you can offer this training to all your customers, friends and family. Our EFR Instructor course now includes PADI's new Care for Children and AED program.

Dive Leadership (10 days)
This course is designed for Divemasters and Instructors intending to work in a resort environment, focusing on the skills and abilities needed for a successful career as a diving professional.
We conduct this program all year round and have no fixed class starting dates. Each participant has a different background and therefore different training needs. This means that you may start any time you like and that you'll have a personalized, flexible schedule.
Dive Resort Management (10 days)
Most Dive Centers, especially in tropical diving destinations,have two main sources of income, diving instruction and diving excursions, and often a combination of both.
This means that your duties will be both of an instructional and supervisory nature. Tourists in tropical, holiday destinations are often demanding and expect to dive when they want to, where they want to, and how they want to. This requires organization and communication, not to mention excellent scheduling and facility maintenance skills.
During this program, you will deal with real life situations in our 5 Star Dive Centers in Kata and Karon Beach. Practical diving experience will be gained aboard our daily excursion boat to the various dive sites around the island of Phuket.
Business of Diving (2 days)
This course is the logical next step to our 'Dive Leadership' and 'Resort Diving Management' courses.
This course applies practical, sensible business principles to the operation of a modern diving facility. You will learn to make decisions based on actual facts and circumstances, rather than on hope, faith and charity!
Sales Training (4 days)
If you think that your job is to teach and not to sell...think again. In the dive business, everyone sells... including full-time, part-time, and independent instructors. Still, very few people want to be seen in the role of a 'salesperson'.
Positive Approach Selling teaches the philosophy that selling doesn't have to be a pushy, manipulative process that many people imagine it to be. You'll learn to identify different types of personalities, including your own, and decide which sales approach is right for a given situation.
