A two day class on instructional skills, part of an IFSAC Instructor 1 presentation, is scheduled for April 17 & 18. Lt. Marybeth O'Leary of Snohomish Fire & Rescue will work with students on classroom and drill ground presentation skills.

Later, a skills workshop in which participants will help each other further develop instructional skills will be followed by a test prep class. The whole process leading to an IFSAC Instructor certification. The schedule details will be worked out with the participants. This will be a great workshop for new and currently certified instructors.
