THE INSTRUCTOR PATHWAY

Three levels of teaching development

FICS uses a structured progression model to recognise teaching experience, seminar performance, leadership and the ability to develop other instructors.

Why the instructor levels exist

FICS combines online theory education with hands-on practical seminars. The structured instructor pathway recognises expertise, leadership and teaching development so candidates receive consistent, evidence-informed ICSC education wherever the seminar is delivered.

LEVEL 2
