This course will take you to the first level of PADI instructors dedicated to teaching the TecRec programs. The Tec Instructor Training course is the level before the Tec Deep Instructor course and then allows you to teach Tec 40 divers. It includes course goals and philosophies of teaching that deal directly with the demanding and challenging nature of technical diving.
The PADI Tec Instructor course prepares participants to run the TEC 40 course. The focus here is on the philosophy and organisation of the course as well as the advertising and practical considerations when teaching the TEC 40 course.
