4 Planning your Diving Career The key to success as a diving educator is understanding the steps involved in getting a good education. To prepare for your instructor program, you need the proper educational background and skills. The steps to beginning your diving career as a PADI Instructor start with the PADI diver continuing education program. To get started planning your diving career, you must decide upon your training program. You can enroll in one course at a time or in your entire program. To determine you next course, look at the PADI Continuing Education course pyramid. This pyramid shows you the complete range of PADI programs and gives you an idea of what your next program should be.. The PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Training Program PADI s instructor training program is unique and unlike any other in the industry. It is divided into two parts, and to qualify for PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification, both parts must be completed. The first part is the Instructor Development Course. During this course you learn how to teach PADI courses and use of the PADI System of diver education. PADI training standards are overviewed by our Course Director and the individual PADI Courses are presented in detail. In addition, you will have practice teaching opportunities in the classroom, pool, and open water that prepare you for the Instructor Examination. Part two of the program is the Instructor Examination, conducted by PADI Headquarters. This two day phase involves an evaluation of your diving knowledge and teaching abilities in the classroom, pool, and open water environment. After completion, you re certified as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. After your Open Water Diver Course your next program is Advanced Open Water, then Rescue Diver, Divemaster, and then your Instructor Development Course. If your entry-level or current certification's are from a training organization other than PADI, you probably meet PADI s training equivalency requirements. For more information about our programs or for help on deciding which course is next for you just give us a call 2

5 Pre IDC Courses Advanced Open Water Diver As you step beyond the PADI Open Water Diver level, you make five dives and have the opportunity to try some of diving s most rewarding and useful specialty activities, such as deep diving, digital underwater photography, wreck diving and much more.

18 Sample Addendum (non-accredited institutions) Veteran s Attendance Policy Early departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of a class period will be counted as a partial absence. Students exceeding 20 % total absences in a calendar month will be terminated from their VA benefits for unsatisfactory attendance. In order to show that the cause of unsatisfactory attendance has been removed, students must show good attendance (as defined) for one calendar month after being terminated for unsatisfactory attendance. After such time, the student may be recertified for VA education benefits. The student s attendance record will be retained in the veteran s file for USDVA and SAA audit purposes. ********************************************************************************************************* ******* Standards of Academic Progress for VA Students Students receiving VA educational benefits must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of C/3 each evaluation period. A VA student whose CGPA falls below C/3 at the end of any evaluation period, will be placed on academic probation for a maximum of two consecutive terms of enrollment. If the VA student s CGPA is still below C/3 at the end of the second consecutive term of probation, the student s VA educational benefits will be terminated. A VA student terminated from VA educational benefits due to unsatisfactory progress may petition the school to be recertified after attaining a CGPA of C/3. ********************************************************************************************************* ******* Veteran s Refund Policy The refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges for veterans or eligible persons who fail to enter a course or withdraw or discontinue prior to completion will be made for all amounts paid which exceed the approximate pro rata portion of the total charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to the total length of the course. The proration will be determined on the ratio of the number of days or hours of instruction completed by the student to the total number of instructional days or hours in the course and must be pro rata to the very end. ********************************************************************************************************************* Veteran s Credit for Previous Education or Training Students must report all previous post-secondary education and training. The school must maintain a written record that clearly indicates official transcripts have been obtained from all post-secondary institutions that the student has attended, those transcripts have been reviewed and evaluated, and appropriate credit has been granted toward the student s current program, with training time shortened and tuition reduced proportionately, and the veteran so notified.
