Our programs draw upon a group of experienced IDC Staff Instructors, which provide you with a variety
of teaching styles and a wealth of knowledgeable mentors from which to draw advice. Remembering that
everyone begins this sport for fun, we endeavor to make the programs as enjoyable as possible for the
candidates and staff alike. A member of our teaching staff will attend your Instructor Examination to offer
