DfT required route to becoming a National Standards Instructor Trainer

CTC's orientation process

The CTC has developed an orientation process for all its tutor training courses which takes the following route:

  1. A CTC tutor observes your training delivery
  2. A three day CTC NSIT / orientation course
  3. Observe an NSI course
  4. Deliver on an NSI course
  5. Be assessed delivering an NSI course

Each stage of this process is assessed and reviewed in partnership with the tutor and the trainee.

CTC delivers the two day NSIT course and the one day CTC orientation course as a package, but we can deliver the two day course on its own for those planning to work outside CTC.

The CTC will deliver external two day NSIT courses on demand.

Course Outcomes: 

Upon successful completion of this course participants will receive provisional accreditation as a National Standard Instructor Trainer (NSIT). In order to complete the accreditation process to become a fully qualified NSIT the candidate will have to fulfil CTC's qualifiaction process and assist the delivery of three NSI courses in partnership with CTC.

Please note that an individual cannot become an instructor trainer without working for an accredited Instructor Training Organisation.
