FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation the Federal Bureau of Investigation Instructor Development Program
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it has granted reaccreditation status to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Instructor Development Program (IDP) at the November 1-3, 2016, meeting in Glynco, GA.
The IDP comprises two required courses. The two required courses are the Presentation Skills Course (PSC) and the Instructional Strategies Course (ISC). The PSC is a three-day, basic presentation skills course available to all employees and required of instructors. The ISC is a five-day instructor skills course available only to instructors. Class size is between eight and 15 students and is taught in a traditional classroom. Students are evaluated while providing two short presentations, a ten-minute presentation on a topic of their choice and a 15-minute presentation on a work-related topic.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, agencies submit to an independent review of their academy and/or program to ensure compliance with the FLETA Standards and Procedures in the areas of Program Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, Training Delivery, and Distance Learning. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, agencies must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the academy/program.
