Who should take this class:

1. those who have taken an instructor course and have had a little bit of course creating content from that course and found it inadequate,
2. instructors currently creating training and feeling that there has got to be a better way but don’t believe they are ready for advanced instructional design concepts,
3. instructors who want to create evidence and process-based training that satisfies POST or agency requirements that also aligns with instructional design science, processes, and methodologies.

After an evaluation of instructor basic courses from across the country, there is a common thread of gaps, missing processes, and plain misinformation in all of them. Most instructor basic courses focus more on public speaking and learning theory with very little covered on actually creating training.

This course fills the gaps, provides the fundamental processes, and corrects a lot of misinformation about how to create training for law enforcement and puts you on the path of creating training that actually aligns with instructional design research, processes, and methodologies.

While you will be in class for three days, you will have until June 30th to complete the course – learning and practicing don’t only happen in the classroom. You will have opportunities for one-on-one consulting as you build your course and will submit your materials as your final assessment.

We will cover:

• Using ADDIE with processes that create a “learning chain of evidence.”
• Setting your course up for meaningful evaluation.
• Writing objectives that actually measure performance.
• Bloom’s Taxonomy the way it was meant to be used, to include the missing domains.
• Creating course materials that support consistency, continuity and real accountability.
• Designing and writing scenarios that measure performance instead of results.
• Creating reliable, valid, and sound assessments that measure more than “Remembering.”
• Writing End of Course Surveys that provide actionable results.
• And a lot more!

This course is a lot of in-class work with some homework. You will receive the book “Fundamentals of Creating Training for Law Enforcement” and digital documents and templates to complete the course.

You will need to bring a WiFi capable laptop for in-class work.

Max participants: 10 (some exceptions allowed)
In-class time: 3 days
Hours of training: 40 in one week (some home work)
30 days to complete

Price:
$525 per person

Hybrid structure – some Instructor Led (synchronous), some self-guided (asynchronous)

Material development is off-line with fewer hours spent as a cohort online. While the off-line portion does not require participants to be online, the instructor will be present online during the regular scheduled times to provide assistance. The VILT version also provides one-on-one time that participants can schedule for additional help.

Max participants: 20 (some exceptions allowed)

Hours of training: 40 hours of training; 30 days to complete the course
Flexible hours of instruction

Price:
$449 per person

Everyone will receive templates and examples to aid in your 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.
