IDC class passed theory exam!

After fourteen days of lectures, practicing skills and presentations in classroom, confined and open water, the Instructor Exam (IE) finally started today. 

Excellent trained by Course Directors Mark, Marco and Chris, the whole IDC class was confidently posing for the camera, just an half hour before the IE started.

Together with about fourty other IDC candidates from Koh Tao, the IE was held in the round windowed meeting room of Koh Tao Regal Resort.

For our Buddha View candidates there were seats left in the front of the meeting room. Seen Marco’s sweaty back, you might think he was very nervous. The truth was that the airconditioning wasn’t working properly so it was like a sauna for more than four hours.

AJ was the first of our IDC class who finished the theory exam. Both Bart and AJ passed the exam with almost 100% score.

Ed was the second Buddha View candidate who completed his theory exam. It was a piece of cake.

Ali and Julia were very happy that the theory exam was done.

It took a while before the next candidate came down but finally after twenty minutes it was JP’s happy face we saw.

He was so relieved, and thirsty as well.

Max was quit nervous during the exam, but he also made it with only a few mistakes. His hands were still shaking; this time because he couldn’t believe it.

Wei finished his exam shortly after Max but it’s hard to tell if he has passed because he has always that smile on his face.

Marco was counting his candidates, like a mother goose would do to check if all her babies are still there. Who is missing?

Of course, at last but not at least, Nedal!

As proud as a little boy, he showed his scores which he has written on a piece of wasted paper. Well guys and girl, you all have done a great job today! One down, three to go, but that shouldn’t be a problem at all.
