Instructor Training Certification

Instructor training involves working with dangerous substances.

Instructor training certification is a program aimed at teaching individuals about safety around hazardous materials and chemicals. The course is typically spread over 40 hours of learning time and prepares the individual with a basic overview of the profession.

Types

The procedure for the instructor training certification is split into many different subsections including risk analysis and lesson plans, task analysis and general adult learning, communication skills and learning objectives. It is usually separated into two parts: a section concentrated on the fundamental principles (also known as theory training) and another section on applied principles (the practical side).

Suitable Roles

The course is generally aimed at individuals who wish to use the skills they pick up in their full-time professions. Individuals working in emergency services and law enforcement often find the course useful as a supplement to these professions; those working in public safety and health care would also find it helpful.

Warning

Not everyone is eligible for instructor training certification lessons. The prerequisite for successful acceptance is completion of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) course .
