The PADI IDC with Platinum PADI Course Director Holly
Macleod can now offer language assistance to candidates through Bahasa Support.
By having a Bahasa speaking member of the team we can now offer Indonesian and
Malaysian candidates the option of Bahasa translation, explanation and
assistance.
Over the course of 2014 and 2015 Holly has become the prime
choice for people looking to train as a professional PADI Instructor and with
the support of a Bahasa Speaking PADI Staff Instructor, the PADI IDC Indonesia
at Trawangan Dive is rapidly becoming a very popular training destination for
Indonesian and Malaysian speaking candidates.
During the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) Malay
and Indonesian candidates will have the option of gaining the language support
offered by our PADI IDC Staff Instructor
Fariz Sawal
who is from Malaysia and has been working alongside the PADI IDC Gili Islands
program for well over a year. The role of a Staff Instructor is to assist both
the Course Director and candidates throughout the IDC and although Fariz does
not conduct the course, he plays a vital role within Instructor Development and
particularly in terms of language support.
The IDC course itself is conducted entirely in English and
currently the PADI IDC materials are not available in Bahasa so candidates will
have to study the English materials. Of course, English is also the main
language used when instructor candidates go on to teach their own courses and
most of the previous instructor candidates have already been working with the
English materials through Open water, Advanced, rescue and Divemaster training;
but our philosophy is that it can be a great support for our Bahasa speaking
candidates to have the option of translation, explanation or even just
discussing topics in their own language. We believe that being able to offer
our candidates the support that they need throughout the IDC is incredibly
important; and the option of having Bahasa language support available for our
Indonesian and Malaysian candidates helps to provide a great all round
educational experience and a real confidence booster, helping our candidates to
learn in a more relaxed and complete style. Fariz is also able to act as a
translator for our candidate at the PADI Instructor Exam should any candidates
need that additional assistance and peace of mind.
The PADI IDC runs every month at Trawangan Dive; the first
ever PADI 5 Star IDC Career Development Center (CDC) in the Gili Islands. All
Instructor level training is conducted by Platinum rated PADI Course Director
Holly Macleod, who is assisted by staff instructors with a range of languages
including Bahasa Malay.
If you’re looking to become a scuba diving instructor, holly
will help you to achieve the best possible results in your PADI Instructor
Examination and have the confidence to go on and develop a rewarding and
successful career within the recreational diving industry. If you’re looking to
