Expectations Timeline: Dependent on the course, the timeline from initial conversation to certification can vary Instructor has to initially complete the course and pending the success of a VTC, complete and in-class teachback Our newer courses can take longer since we do not have as many instructing opportunities yet. Once certification is complete, contracting can take approximately 10-14 business days. Once contracted: Instructors are hired on a contract basis, NDPTC does not require our instructors to instruct a minimum or maximum number of courses. We are a mobile training center and many of the instructor assignments will depend on geographic location of the course and the instructor.
Next Steps Take and complete course in your nearby area 1. Forward your resume to me and complete course 2. questionnaire Schedule VTC In-class teachback certification 3. contracting
