Prospective NATMI instructors should plan on attending the upcoming program, which is scheduled on Thursday, July 25th and Friday, July 26th (the program will end by 2pm on Friday).
This year's program will be held in Denver, Colorado at the NATMI headquarters office building. The 2-day program covers NATMI's goals and expectations for instructors, background on our internationally recognized certification programs, as well as how to effectively instruct NATMI courses.
Attending the course does not guarantee that a participant will be eligible to teach NATMI courses. Each participant must present a module from a NATMI program and be evaluated on the presentation. Only those approved following the train-the-trainer course will become NATMI instructors.
The program content is roughly equivalent to the Essential Instructional Skills for Professional Driver Trainers course, which is required for the NATMI Certified Driver Trainer (CDT) designation. For this reason, those attending the program can use the course to fulfill the training requirement for the CDT program, though the remaining steps for certification must be completed (i.e., the certification exam and online submission of candidate experience).
