Useful Info about Trainig and Exams in Thailand
Most of the Instructor Examinations (IE) are held on Koh Lanta throughout the year. However, some of these could be not confirmed yet, or some IDC are run in Koh Lanta but actually the IE is in another Thailand location, like Krabi or Phuket. For example, “tbc” means “to be confirmed”. In this case the PADI IE might not be in Lanta or not confirmed yet. Feel free to contact us if the training dates above do not match your schedule.
On the Dates Table you may see also:
- “IDC Staff Start Dates” which means that our Course Director will meet the Staff Candidates a couple of days before the IDC starting day. This is to introduce better them to the program and procedures followed during the training. So, this date concerns only for whom applying for the PADI Staff Instructor Course.
- “MSDT Prep Dates from” which means that the specialties course will be presented after the exams. Read here for more details.
