Additional Information

The AI workshop is a one or two-day workshop to acquaint you with the IFPS certification program and to assess your instructional abilities. It is not a program to teach instructor skills but rather to assess your instructor skills.

What will be covered during the Workshop:

Deep dive into IFPS programs will be covered in a ½ day session.
The applicant will conduct a 40-minute presentation with a five-minute Q&A session. Note: Speaking for less than 40 minutes will result in an incomplete assessment.

At least 14 days prior to the Workshop - Submit a presentation outline on the selected topic. The outline should be submitted by e-mail as a .DOC, .PPT, etc. In lieu of an outline, full presentations may be e-mailed.

Assessments: You’ll be assessed by three CFPAIs and workshop peers. The assessment is based on a numbered scale; you must score 3.0 out of 5.0 to be approved as an IFPS Accredited Instructor. CFPAI assessments count as 75% of your score, and workshop peers as 25%. You are expected to assess your peers' presentations in addition to being assessed by them.

Assessments are based on:

Knowledge of the topic,
Public speaking aptitude,
Appropriate use of training materials and aids,
Ability to follow submitted outline, and
Question and answer session.
