Instructional Techniques
Instructional Techniques Program Overview
This award winning Instructional Techniques program is simply the finest Train-the-Trainer workshop available. Developed in conjunction with the acknowledged standards for instructional excellence, it is the cornerstone for: CompTIA CTT+ Classroom Trainer certification, Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) certification, and FKA’s Professional Instructor certification. The focus is on you in this dynamic program. You will develop your classroom delivery skills by presenting three separate lessons based on content from your own environment. You’ll get oral and written feedback from our skilled workshop leaders and receive video recordings of your lessons for personal viewing.
FKA’s Instructional Techniques Program is the gold-standard for delivery skills.
