Basic Field Training Officer/Instructor Certification (FTO)

Length: 4-days
Target Audience: Coaching and field training staff who provide one-on-one apprenticeship coaching, under the San Jose Field Training and Evaluation Program Model

The Basic Field Training Officer Certification course will introduce the trainer to the concepts of problem-based learning, while developing facilitation, leadership, and coaching skills. Our instructor-led training will promote adult learning principles and varied individual-based training approaches designed to maximize valuable field training time, overcome training challenges, and allow the officer in training to learn at the appropriate individual pace.

This course involves student activities designed to develop the critical leadership, interpersonal, and coaching skills needed to work in stressful one-on-one training environments. Throughout the week, the trainer will be exposed to program history associated with the San Jose Field Training and Evaluation Program (FTEP), as well as mandated requirements and roles associated with field training, documentation, and related legal matters. Activities will support problem-based learning, facilitation, self-assessment, critical-thinking, and problem solving supported by general coaching strategies. If the client is a regional facility with some members using FTEP and others utilizing the Police Training Officer model, facilitation will also conduct a detailed review of PTO terminology and processes.
