Your agency on average spends $100K to hire a new officer and get them through the field training program. But how much thought has been put into the training your FTOs receive? We've designed a new, modern FTO Update course that guarantees that your FTOs will learn the best methods to Teach, Evaluate and Document. Come see why our FTO courses receive 100% positive reviews.
This experience is unlike any other FTO Update course. This is a modern approach to how adults like to learn (No "Death by Power Point"). Our course is taught by expert-level instructors who guarantee your FTOs will leave with a new set of skills, each one designed to help them teach and mentor a trainee or lateral officer through the FTO program.
Our instructors are practitioners, not theorists. They have a ton of experience training new officers, so students will get to see how they use the course material in the real world.
Give your FTOs the best training available, and register them today.
Here are 3 reasons that our students say FTOs need to take this course:
- Learn from current and former FTOs and FTO Supervisors. Our instructors are practitioners, not theorists.
- Learn how to diagnose a training deficiency and potentially save a struggling trainee.
- Learn modern techniques for teaching, evaluating, and documenting.
Plus get access to 10 refresher training videos featuring our Savage Training Group FTO Instructors!
The learning doesn’t stop when you leave this course. Each FTO student will receive 10 separate training videos sent to them in the weeks and months after the course. That means that the learning doesn’t stop after you attend our course.
These videos are a $99 value. We’re including them here at no additional charge for students who complete the course!
Each student should bring a laptop computer and a portable USB drive.
