FLETA Board Grants Accreditation to the FBI BIC
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted accreditation status to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Basic Instructor Course (BIC) at the May 9, 2024, meeting.
The purpose of the BIC is to provide participants with the skills to deliver effective instruction using an approved FBI lesson plan. Participants will learn the fundamentals of adult learning, importance of course materials, lesson plan delivery, facilitation, effective classroom management, evaluating students and observing peer instructors. The BIC is five instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 24.
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.
