FLETA Board Grants Accreditation to the DS FASTC IDC
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted accreditation status to the Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Service Foreign Affairs Security Training Center Instructor Development Course (IDC) at the May 9, 2024, meeting.
The purpose of the IDC is to provide FASTC instructors with basic instructional training in a classroom setting. The IDC is five instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is six.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, training organizations submit to an independent review of their program and/or academy to ensure compliance with the FLETA Standards and Procedures in the areas of Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, training organizations must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the program/academy.
