It depends. The instructor has to be certified as either a sidemount instructor or a tec sidemount instructor. However, some instructors will only allow the diver to dive in sidemount, If the diver is already certified and proficient in sidemount. This is because it is normally to difficult for the diver to learn both sidemount diving and a technical diving course at the same time.

Thanks for the video
Does PADI allow a sidemount configuration for tech courses?

You need to think for yourself
What a stupid idea with pony bottle, why not just use twinset ? Much much easier and better
Why PADI alwayes create a horrible things?
