Selection of Instructors

Selection of instructors should be based on the technical and instructional qualifications specified in the

Course Specific Information section of this guide. In addition to technical and instructional qualifications,

oral and written communication skills, and interpersonal skills, should be included in the process of selecting

and approving instructors.

Since selection of instructors is an important task, those who share in the responsibility for ensuring program

effectiveness should:

interview possible instructors to ensure they understand the importance of the roles and responsibilities

of technical instructors and are willing to accept and fulfill their responsibilities in a professional manner

maintain records of previous training, education, and work experience

Procedures for program evaluation will include documentation of providing qualified instructors for generic

and site-specific training programs.
