The instructor candidate will be able to:

- Understand and be able to demonstrate classroom management
- Understand how to request training materials from NECI

Prerequisites
- This is a train-the-trainer course, not a basic certification course. The course is not designed to teach the instructor candidate basic call-handling techniques. Instructor candidates should be previously trained or experienced at the basic level of emergency communications before taking this instructor-level course. Instructor candidates will learn methods of instruction rather than learning the basics of 9-1-1 communications.
- Some states require Basic 9-1-1 certification as a prerequisite for attendance in the 9-1-1 Instructor course. Check with your state 9-1-1 Board.
NOTE: This course covers certification for one instructor. Included with the course is one manual for that instructor. This manual may not be reused with additional instructors for additional certifications.
