<p>I have also issued 9 Emergency First Response certificates.</p>
<p>My plan is to become a Padi Master Instructor, I have issued enough certifications, but not of the correct type. At the moment, I need to certify 1 EFR, 4 Divemasters, and 5 Assistant Instructors to be able to apply.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the 22th of October until the 29th of October I had the pleasure of being on Malta diving with <a href="http://www.divewise.com.mt/" target="_blank">Divewise</a>.</p>
<p>During this period I did do the <a href="http://www.padi.com/english/common/courses/pro/idcstaffinstr.asp" target="_blank">Padi IDC Staff instructor</a> course. On the 27th of October I pass the course <img src='http://www.dykkeren.dk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This was quite an interesting course, during which I followed an Assistant Instructor course, evaluating the students together with the Staff Instructor and Course Director doing the course.</p>
<p>Of course us IDC Staff Instructor students where being evaluated as well, we had to do the 20 skill circuit, with a score of minimum 4 for each skill. We had to do teaching presentation, and confined water presentations as well.</p>
<p>In the standards written exam there was 40 questions, and we had to have at least 80% correct, I had a single error which mean I had 97.5% correct <img src='http://www.dykkeren.dk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
In the theory exam there was 5 sections of each 20 questions, again we must have at least 80% correct. I had 100% correct in 4 of them, and a single error in the RDP/Wheel exam. I am VERY pleased with my result <img src='http://www.dykkeren.dk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I am really looking forward to do my first Assistant instructor course.</p>
<p>Here you can see some pictures of the Staff Instructors candidates and the Assistant Instructors candidates.</p>
