Stable Program Lead Instructors

National Instructor Course Offerings
Instructor courses are designed to prepare Lead Instructors for local or regional Learner / Provider Course implementation. Support instructor candidates may attend the Instructor course but they must be affiliated with a Lead instructor to implement and teach the program.

In 2009, all but two of the Instructor courses will require a current Learner/Provider or Support Instructor card as a pre-requisite for admission to the Lead Instructor Course. Instructor candidates must meet the qualifications for Lead or Support Instructor to attend.

The September 21 & 22 (Salt Lake City, Utah) and the October 8 & 9 (Nashua, NH) courses will not require prior attendance of a Learner/Provider course. Instructor candidates must meet the qualifications for Lead or Support to attend.
