What our IDC candidates say

They really prepared me for IE. Equipped me with knowledge and skills I needed to be the best version of myself. I love how they taught their IDC candidates. Definitely worth the time and money.
Berlinda and Tim are super cool, approachable, and funny too. English is not my first language and they helped me understand all the jargons. 😅
I really can see my transformation in less than two weeks. They made sure IE means "It's Easy" 😊
I then decided to take five more specialty instructor courses just after IDC because I know I will learn more from IDP. I've read the Specialty Instructor Manuals but Berlinda added extra knowledge which is very useful as an OWSI. 🥰😍
Everything is WORTHY with IDP and I can't wait to come back and learn some more from them. Thank you so much Berlinda and Tim

Jessie Neri - IDC July 2022PADI Pro, Instructor - Philippines

Just finished IDC with IDP. There is much more than thanks to all staff and dive centers. They organized schedule well make sure all the candidates learn what they have to but even more. Best IDC team and the most patient, positive instructors makes you grow up with profession and positive attitude. My English is not fluent at all but all the staff are so supportive. Mummy CD Berlinda arranged everything in the best condition. The most funny CD Tim made the course so interesting! Of course Tracy helped me a lot in translation and all the helps. Thanks Ulrika, Julia, Ray, Vasily and all! I absolutely had great time and leaned more then I expected.

Berlinda Koolen is doing an amazing job taking care of the course and her students. Any question you might have she (and the other teachers) will always do their best to help you out! Can't recommend IDP enough!
