Certified Trainer

Custom Training

Formal instructor training in the military is often not easily understood or acknowledged by the private sector. To address this gap, the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools (MCCSSS) S-3 Academics Section partnered with the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Continuing and Professional Education office to develop a university-recognized training certificate program. This initiative aims to bridge the divide between military and civilian approaches to professional instruction.

The UNCW Certified Trainer Program (CTP) provides evidence of the military trainers' continued self-improvement and associated teaching and curriculum design skill development. The Certified Trainer Program is voluntary, requiring students to participate and successfully complete the following non credit courses:

  • Advanced Instructor Presentation & Delivery (AIPD)
  • Design and Delivery of Instructor-Led Training (DDILT)
  • Effective Teaching Seminar (ETS)
  • Evaluation of Testing (ET)
  • Mentoring and Monitoring of Instructors (MMI)

Additional courses provided for military instructors include Effective Written Communication, Creativity & Innovation, and Critical Thinking.

Trainer programs can be customized to fit your industry needs. Contact us at uncwcpe@uncw.edu for more information.
