Instructors

Our instructors are all experienced searchers drawn primarily from ALSAR units.  Many are qualified Search Controllers, and all attend the full range of our courses themselves.  Regular Instructor training sessions are held, and all are encouraged to engage in continuing professional development.  Many hold key roles in their units and within ALSAR.
Whilst it is not possible to go through the lengthy and expensive process of gaining formal qualifications for all, the training process is managed and overseen by staff with Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and a Certificate in Education (Cert Ed), and holders of NVQ Assessors Awards.  All our trainers are subject to a Trainer Quality Monitoring (TQM) process.
