Forums should be used to view people's experiences with certain Course Directors, there could be some 'fake' or self-promotion going on so always ignore the best and worst comments, or at least take them in isolation. You can go on the Facebook page of your IDC or Course Director (most have them now) and ask their ex students directly. Alternatively you can look at past students 'verified' comments on this site.

Another and important part is not only the experienced Course Director or the quality of the IDC, but will the IDC Center teaches the IDC candidates to become an instructor or only to pass the PADI IE.
