The PADI eLearning system was devised to make registering in and completing scuba diving courses easier, especially when time is limited, such as during vacations or travel. When you register in an eLearning course, you will study through the knowledge development part of the course by reading and watching videos, reviewing the information and completing quizzes and exams provided digitally. When you register, you create and pay for an account that gives you access to all the materials required for your course.
By studying the materials online, you are able to work at your own pace, which results in a greater flexibility for you to complete your studies. Once you have completed the eLearning portion of your course, you will print out a record sheet to bring to your instructor and will be required to complete a quick quiz.
The way that the PADI eLearning system works requires that each individual register for their own account. Accounts may not be shared between more than one person. You will have a period of 12 months from the completion of your eLearning course for you to register for and begin your practical training with your instructor.
