The course objectives are to help candidates transition from being a Mermaid Instructor to an entry-level PADI Mermaid Instructor Trainer. This involves broadening the candidates' instructional and mentoring skills, plus expanding their communication abilities. Assure candidates understand the PADI Mermaid instructor development structure, philosophy, requirements and procedures; expand candidates' coaching techniques to support instructor candidate development and achievement; confirm candidates’ mermaid instructional skills are at a role-model level; and provide candidates with practical suggestions for organizing and marketing their courses.
