The Instructor Manual is a wise investment for the professional diver. You do get the outlines on CD for the courses you can teach, but having your own copy of the IM is nice because you'll have the General Standards and Procedures section available to you. It is not included on the DM CD...you will find answers there to test questions! (hint)
The IM does have outlines for lectures you can use to study, but I found this a bit lacking. This is only my personal opinion though. I preferred a much richer study program to build my knowledge base, rather than the bare minimum I need to pass. BUT, the lecture outlines are a great point of focus to go over, so good suggestion AzAtty!
