This class prepares the student for the Train the Trainer program, also called an ‘in-house’ instructor/trainer. Participants will learn to deliver all the components of the CITCA program to their own employees. This course covers both paperwork and presentation methods, providing participants with tips to adapt to their own learning environments. The benefit of being an ‘in-house’ instructor is that it allows you to teach new employees and recertify current employees as the company schedule and contract demands require it. Participants are evaluated as they present a portion of the program to their peers in class. Prerequisite: CITCA Authorized Climber/Rescuer certified. Upon completion, participants must teach a minimum of two certifying classes per year and return annually for a one-day TTT refresher class.
The TTT will receive access to the CITCA Trainer Portal for all of the necessary documentation to complete a course including PowerPoints, tests and answers, and competency evaluation forms. The TTT also will have access to the field staff for support when it is needed.
Train the Trainer Recertification
The Climber/Rescuer remains valid while those certified are employed by the company providing training. A two-year recertification is required accomplished by documentation of simulated rescue evaluation.
The Climber/Rescuer is valid for two years from class completion, at which time the Rescue Refresher is needed. The Rescue Refresher is two days/16 hours of hands-on review and demonstration. The Train the Trainer is valid for one year. At the end of that time, a one-day refresher is required, along with two certifying classes taught within that calendar year.
