PADI Educational Programs
PADI provides PADI Members with complete curricula
and training materials for a variety of experience
programs and certification courses, from introductory
programs, such as Discover Scuba, to leadership
level training such as Divemaster. PADI Specialty
Instructors may offer courses that allow divers
to further pursue their diving interests.
PADI Members who qualify as MEDIC FIRST AID
Instructors may offer an integrated CPR and first
aid course to divers and members of the public
who wish to learn the basic skills of emergency
patient care.
PADI programs are performance-based, which allows
students to progress at their own pace. Students
begin diver training by using PADI’s independent
study materials and continue learning under the
guidance of an instructor.
Recognized for effectiveness and instructional
integrity, PADI programs are recommended for college
credit by
the American Council on Education’s College
Credit Recommendation Service (formerly ACE/PONSI)
and the Canadian Open Learning Agency’s
Credit Review Service (Learning Bank).
PADI courses are also recognized by the Vocational
Education Training and Accreditation Board (VETAB)
in Australia, and may result in New Zealand Qualification
Authority Unit Standards when delivered through
accredited delivery sites.
