Choosing the Right Course: Instructor Development Workshop vs. Effective Police Training
Instructor Development Workshop
Best for: Instructors who teach in a classroom setting
Focus: Classroom teaching techniques, audience engagement, and course design
If your instructors deliver presentations, briefings, or formal classroom lectures—even to small groups—this is the course for them. The Instructor Development Workshop is all about making your instructors more confident, dynamic, and effective in front of an audience.
Topics include:
- How to gain and maintain audience buy-in
- Strategies for dealing with disengaged or disruptive students
- Using PowerPoint effectively (not just reading slides)
- How to structure and design a course that actually works
This course is ideal for trainers who want to level-up their ability to communicate and teach in a classroom environment.
Effective Police Training
Best for: Instructors who run skills-based or scenario-based training
Focus: Motor skills acquisition, scenario design, and interleaving
If your instructors are involved in teaching firearms, defensive tactics, use of force, or running scenarios, the Effective Police Training course is for them. This course is about moving beyond “check-the-box” in-service training and into the realm of realistic, science-based, and results-driven training.
Topics include:
- How to design and run effective scenario-based training
- Applying principles of adult learning and modern brain science
- Creating multi-disciplinary training days (e.g., combining DT, legal update, and firearms)
- Videos of the instructors using these principles at their agency to move their in-service training days from the old “block and silo” training to interleaved, holistic training that actually produced improved performance in the field
This course is for trainers who want to create training that actually changes behavior in the field—not just during training day.
