Instructor Development

This 40 hour class teaches the basic skills necessary to prepare and present knowledge and psychomotor based training in a classroom environment. This class is best suited for students who have less than two years in course delivery and no formal training in instructional techniques, but is open to those of all skill levels. A high level of student participation is required. Topics during the course include:

  • The learning process – adult learning principles and styles, environments
  • Systematic design, development and delivery of training
  • Methods of instruction for teaching both theory and skills
  • Instructor roles and responsibilities
  • Facilitation skills
  • Using training aides effectively

To register for the course, contact your Training Manager to assign the training to you via Acadis.

Registration does not guarantee acceptance into the class. Selections will be completed four weeks prior to the class; those accepted into the class will receive a notification at that time.

If classes are full, or not available, please complete the Course Interest Survey. This is not a waiting list, but instead helps us see if there is enough interest to create another class. If we schedule a session, we will contact everyone who has completed the survey and request that registration be completed.
