Instructor Training Course

ITC is a 32-hour training course that provides instruction on adult learning, instructor competencies, classroom strategies, communication skills, instructional delivery, use of technology
in a classroom, and assessment of student learning outcomes. The course utilizes current training delivery strategies, which are supported by a series of facilitated discussion and practical
exercises that require the participant to demonstrate advanced instructor skills. At the conclusion of this training program, the participant will demonstrate knowledge to
provide instruction to the adult learning audience.

NOTE: This course does not qualify the individual as an instructor or trainer in any specific FEMA course.

Below are some, but not all, of the critical skill sets learned during this training program:
