Advanced and Instructor Excellence Renewal Courses
The Instructor Excellence Renewal Process: Ongoing Training and Practical Testing
As a component of the Instructor Excellence Renewal Process, once every four years Certified Instructors are required to attend and complete a qualifying Instructor Excellence Renewal Course, which will include both written and physical competency testing.
It is our strong belief that this renewal process will benefit you as a Certified Instructor, as well as benefit those you teach. Most importantly, it will strengthen your facility's overall ability to provide for the Care, Welfare, Safety and SecuritySM of those individuals who are under your care.
