Introduction

The Criminal Justice Training Center, in partnership with the San Diego Regional Training Center and the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training has created the Instructor Development Institute.  This program offers 4 levels of instructor development training for law enforcement agencies and training centers throughout California including a basic, intermediate, and two levels of advanced training.  The basic course is the Academy Instructor Certificate Course (AICC).  The completion of all four levels of training qualifies at the same level as the former P.O.S.T. Master Instructor Development Program. Many of these classes are offered free of charge to law enforcement instructors working within the P.O.S.T. system.
 

Napa Valley College provides the basic and intermediate level courses included in the Instructor Development Institute.  These courses are coordinated by Todd Dischinger who is a graduate of the P.O.S.T. Master Instructor Development Program.  His team includes 8 other instructors from around the state who are recognized subject matter experts.  The entire team is committed to improving the quality of instruction and training for law enforcement in California.  In addition, we offer program assessment and a coaching and mentoring process for newly trained instructors.  For more information about these services, email Todd Dischinger, or call 707-333-8290.

 

The 40-hour Academy Instructor Certificate Course (AICC) provides essential and required instructional and facilitation skills for anyone teaching in a basic academy. Students will learn through hands-on experience in a highly active learning environment. This course meets the training mandate for the P.O.S.T. Academy Instructor Certification Course. This offering emerged from the POST Facilitation Skills Course for Instructors, and has been expanded to meet all requirements (including competence verification) of POST mandates for instructor training. Included is a comprehensive study of contemporary adult learning methodologies, paralanguage, critical thinking, taxonomies of learning, presentation and platform skills.
