Creating Training for Law Enforcement (CT4LE)

This class includes both the Fundamentals of creating Training and the Designing Training for Law Enforcement courses. This is a step-by-step process for creating documented and legally defensible training and is the course you want if you want to create doctrine, processes, and governance for a training unit.

This is not a “make a better slide deck” course – you will be building a course using learning science and instructional design methods and processes to build better, more defensible training. This is also not a “death by PowerPoint class” – you will be doing a lot of in-class work and provided 1:1 consulting for 60 days once the in-class portion is completed. You will learn:

• A step-by-step process for creating training
• Case law that supports learning science
• Performing analysis, including a performance task analysis
• Designing training to meet task competency and to be evaluated for actionable feedback
• Developing a Training Design Plan and Measurement Plan
• Creating effective and measurable performance objectives in multiple learning domains
• Creating instructor and participant guides and slide decks
• Creating rubrics and scenario control documentation
• Developing defensible tests that have content validity
• Creating evaluation tools that measure course efficacy
• And a lot more!

You are doing more than creating training, you are creating a “learning chain of evidence,” that provides documentation about the decisions you made while building your course. This process takes the “based on my background, training, and experience,” and makes training “based on research, observation, and analysis.”

Materials

All participants will receive a copy of the book Creating Training for Law Enforcement and templates and examples to assist in the development of all work discussed in class. Participants need to have access to a computer loaded with Microsoft Office or Adobe products. Each participant should have a training topic ready to develop. This topic should be something the individual has some degree of expertise in, but not something already developed or created.

The online component is through LETnEC’s Learning Center LMS.

Max participants: 10 (some exceptions allowed)
Hours of training: 140 total hours

• 10 hours of pre-course work
• Two weeks of in- and out-of-class work (100hrs total – 10 x 10-hour days: 8hr in class, 2 hrs homework)
• 60 days to complete the course (appx. 30 hours of coursework to complete)

Price:
$1,500 per person

There are three outcomes for a LETnEC class:

Certificate of Completion

You attended all of the lessons and completed all the work.

Certificate of Attendance

You attended all of the lessons, but did not complete all of the work.

Nothing

You did not attend all of the lessons and all of the work.

Everyone will receive templates and examples to aid in course development. You will need a laptop or computer with Microsoft Office. Be prepared to discuss on the first day of class the training topic you want to develop that interests you or is needed in your agency.

Just like learning, our training support doesn’t end when everyone leaves on the final day. We provide continued support to our participants while they put into practice the skills and processes they learn in this course. This course was 30 years in the making – we don’t expect our participants to be ready in 40 hours.

Participants of LETnEC courses will receive continuing support for as long as they want/need it at no additional cost.* Participants are invited to set meetings with their instructor to discuss their training materials and programs after they receive their certificates of completion. LETnEC instructors remain permanent consultants as participants go through their career changing the standards of how law enforcement training is designed and developed.
