“Platinum” Again 2016 | PADI IDC Gili Islands | PADI Course Director Holly Macleod

A massive congratulations to Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod on the PADI IDC Indonesia program in the Gili Islands, who has once again been awarded the “Platinum” PADI Status for 2016.

The annual PADI Frequent Trainer program awards are designed to recognize the most active PADI Course Directors worldwide and awards are given based on the number of candidates who choose to complete their Instructor training with a particular Course Director, plus how many candidates stay on to continue their education and how much support Course Directors can offer in terms of career development after the course. The Platinum award is the highest available within the Instructor Development system and recognizes Holly’s overall commitment to the PADI Education system and her pure experience in Instructor training and development. The annual PADI Frequent Trainer program awards a Gold, Silver and Platinum rating dependent on the total number of Instructors a Course Director has certified within the given year.

As well as receiving the Platinum PADI Status Holly has also received the “Elite 300” Instructor award as during 2015 she has conducted nearly 500 Instructor level certifications. The program itself has also received recognition through the PADI “Commitment to Instructor Development” Award for its pure educational distinctions.

The IDC program takes place at Trawangan Dive; the first PADI 5 Star IDC Career Development Center (CDC) to be established in Lombok and the Gili Islands. Today, Trawangan Dive remains the only PADI Career Development Center on the island of Gili Trawangan and potential candidates will find world class instructor training facilities including an instructor training classroom, 2 training swimming pools, a dedicated instructor training boat and a beachside restaurant and bar. The purpose built Open Water instructor training sites are situated a stone’s throw away and are accessed by boats which leave from the beach directly in front of the dive center.

The program is entirely conducted by Multi Award Winning Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod who has a wealth of experience within the industry having worked within diving for over a decade in a variety of diving locations. She is therefore easily placed to advise candidates about potential job offers and about specific locations include what candidates can expect from specific employers and specific regions and also what employers may expect from applicants.

The Instructor Development Course is conducted over an 11 day period with an additional 5 days of pre-IDC preparation.During the pre IDC preparation workshops candidates will review the theory, skills and knowledge from the Divemaster Course allowing candidates to make a smooth transition onto the Instructor Program. During the Instructor Course candidates will participate in the mandatory core PADI  syllabus components which can be found on any PADI Instructor training course and also take part in additional workshops which have been specifically designed by Holly to make the transition into industry as smooth as possible by giving candidates the extra training over and above what is required; allowing them to gain the additional skills, knowledge and confidence to go on and provide a quality and fun education for their future students.
