INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE AWARD WINNING PADI 5-STAR IDC CENTRE www.facebook.com/IDCKohTaoThailand WELCOME TO THE INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE!!! MEET YOUR COURSE DIRECTOR: Marcel van den Berg Platinum PADI Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #492721 "Let me introduce myself; my name is Marcel van den Berg. I’m originally from the Netherlands and have now been living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003, I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have a fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on, I actively pursued my career in diving. I hold a tremendous passion towards diving which I have been able to share with others during my teaching and turning thousands of students into divers. It didn’t take long to decide to advance in my career and I continued my education towards Course Director and Specialty Instructor Trainer. Within the first year I achieved Platinum Status from PADI and kept that until this day. Now I’m able to teach the success I had to new Instructors and I look forward to share my passion and success in Diving with you! Come and join us for your professional diving training at Sairee Cottage Diving and let me teach you an award winning program that far exceeds the minimum standards of the dive industry” Marcel van den Berg 2 Teaching Experience: Taught over 4500 students on all PADI levels Certifications: PADI Platinum Course Director #492721 Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor Trainer Multilevel Diver Instructor Trainer Equipment Specialist Instructor Trainer Wreck Specialist Instructor Trainer Fish Identification Instructor Trainer Digital Underwater Photography Trainer Diver Propulsion Vehicle Instructor Trainer Search & Recovery Instructor Trainer Underwater Navigator Instructor Trainer Underwater Naturalist Instructor Trainer Night Diver Instructor Trainer Boat Diver Instructor Trainer Enriched Air Instructor Trainer Deep Diver Instructor Trainer Peak Performance Buoyancy Instructor Trainer Project AWARE Instructor Trainer AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Instructor Trainer AWARE Shark Conservation Instructor Trainer EFR Instructor Trainer EFR Care for Children and AED Instructor Trainer Accomplishments: Awarded 23 PADI Recognition of Excellence awards Co-Author First Quarter 2012 Undersea Journal Project AWARE PADI Member of the month April 2011 Co-Creator of the Project AWARE Presentation for Instructor Development 2013 Received Many Project AWARE awards Writer and advisor for Scuba Diver Magazine, DeeperBlue.com and Scuba Diver Life 3 OVERVIEW To qualify for PADI Instructor Development Course, you'll need to: Be certified as a PADI Divemaster or leadership level with another recreational diver training organization.
