    EFR Instructor

    As far as I understand, it is the "new" standard changed back in 2008 that EFRi does not need to teach every 2 years to maintain their teaching status, however the instructor manual has not been updated yet.

    PADI instructor e-learning question.

    yes, you still need to write both IDC and IE written exam. eLearning will give you credit for about one day to one and a half day of classroom work during the IDC. some IDC will make use of this classroom time and transfer to inwater time, of course depends on who is the Course Director.:)
