Your PADI IDC in Phuket, Thailand: Why Bjorn Tackmann Instructor Training?
Seventeen good reasons:
- Bjorn's candidates have consistently achieved
the best I.E. success rates in Thailand ever since 1996 , with scores
well above the average.
- Bjorn’s IDC/CDC Instructor Development Programs are well-proven and well-tested in the field. His experience builds on 70 successful IDCs conducted throughout South East Asia, resulting in more than 1000 Instructor Certifications at all levels. Nothing substitutes experience when it comes to diving!
- Bjorn's Instructor Development Program has been awarded several times by PADI. He and Dive Asia Career Development Center have received PADI's “Outstanding Contribution to Instructor Development” award for three years in a row: 2001, 2002 and 2003 as the only IDC program worldwide.
 Your
entire instructor-training takes place at Dive Asia’s new PADI
CDC Instructor Development Center on Kata Beach, Phuket. Dive Asia’s
Career Development Center has been honored by PADI to be among the first
facilities to be awarded as a PADI 5 Star Career Development Center
(CDC) in South East Asia. Dive Asia is the first and only CDC on Phuket.
- Bjorn Tackmann guarantees that his IDC Candidates
get a one-step-ahead career start, maximizing their opportunities in
the diving industry:
He was the first and only Course Director in South East Asia to start
exclusively using the new PADI Open Water, Adventure Diver, Rescue Diver,
Experience Programs & Divemaster Course outlines/training materials
for instructor development.
- He was also the first Course Director to introduce
PADI EANx Nitrox Instructor Training to Phuket IDCs October 1997 and,
in August 1999; he became Phuket's first PADI Rebreather Instructor
Trainer.
First again in 2002 with DSAT's TecRec Gas Blender and EFR (Emergency
First Response) Instructor courses !
- Bjorn Tackmann was the
first, and only, Course Director to introduce the new IDC 2001 curriculum
to Phuket IDCs March 2001 !
- Our new PADI CDC Instructor Development Center
provides instructor candidates with every possible convenience –
candidate accommodation in nice twin-share rooms, 20 x 20 meter swimming
pool especially designed for dive training, spacious classrooms, free
internet & e-mail access, air fills, nitrox, rebreathers, gas blending,
, showers, change rooms and a poolside restaurant. Our training center
is located on a small hilltop overlooking Kata Beach and is Phuket’s
first and only all-in-one instructor development facility.
- Free accommodation at
our training center, in nice twin-share rooms with bath, is included
during the IDC for ALL candidates. Daily breakfast and lunch at our
poolside restaurant are also included throughout your IDC program.
- To accommodate our IDC candidates, we provide
language assistance and an efficient International Job Placement Service.
- A number of our past candidates have moved on
to successful careers as dive center owners, managers and PADI Course
Directors.
- Our relaxed, low stress nine-days IDC program
(basic IDCs are only 7-8 days) is performance based and conducted in
a friendly and supportive atmosphere, where the focus is on training
professional diving instructors, not only on how to pass the I.E.
- A complimentary IDC preparation course is included
with your IDC, at no extra cost for the candidate.
- Our special I.E. pass-guarantee
is free, without any conditions: In the very unlikely event that you
are unsuccessful in the IE we will pay for your second IDC AND IE with
us, including your accommodation, breakfast and lunch!
- Tanks, weights and transfers are provided during
the IDC, IE and all other courses.
- Your Course Director Bjorn Tackmann is present
throughout your Instructor Examination.
- We have the best price, best value and best quality
instructor packages on the market, as well as a complete PADI Instructor
Career Program in place for all certification
levels from all diving organizations
IDCs are not all the same!
It all comes down to the Course Director. As
a quality oriented IDC Candidate you should ask your Course Director the
following questions:
Conclusion:
A positive response
to the above questions is your guarantee of being taught by a well-qualified
Course Director and ensures that you get a quality IDC.
You may find basic IDCs available, but do they focus on your future success
as a professional diving instructor? These IDCs only attempt to prepare
you towards passing the IE.
 Remember:
The bitterness of reduced quality remains much longer than the sweetness
of a lower price.
You are investing
in a career, not only in advice on how to pass a test. The real test takes
place in the field after the IE. That’s the kind of test our program
prepares you for!
