About Course

This Standards Practice Exam Package contains five 50-question multiple-choice exams created by experienced Course Directors to help instructor candidates prepare for standards, systems and procedures assessments.

The 250 original questions cover General Standards and Procedures, course and program requirements, supervision, ratios, depth limits, administrative procedures, training documentation, equipment, professional membership and instructor responsibilities. Each question has one correct answer and includes an explanation to reinforce understanding and identify areas requiring further study.

The exams are based on the 2025 manuals and reflect the format and difficulty of the supplied example standards examinations. Questions are randomised to provide a different experience with each attempt.

This is an independently created study aid. It was not created, approved, endorsed or produced by PADI and is not an official PADI examination or training product. PADI is a registered trademark of PADI Worldwide Corp. Standards may change, so candidates should always consult the latest official Instructor Manual, Training Bulletins and regional requirements when preparing for an examination or conducting training.
