HOW DO I BECOME AN
INSTRUCTOR?
To become a qualified as an Instructor
a member needs to complete the Instructor Development Course (IDC). Credentialed
teachers, as noted in the Auxiliary Manual, may request a waiver and be
declared a qualified Instructor on the weight of their credential. However, we strongly urge even credentialed
and experienced teachers to complete the Auxiliary Instructor Development
Course so that their instructional methods are aligned with those of the
Auxiliary and Coast Guard and that they are better prepared to mentor
Instructor candidates.
All course materials may be downloaded
from the Coast Guard Auxiliary National Department of Education e-LIB. There are four document downloads:

The Instructor candidate and a Mentor
assigned by the Flotilla or Division work together to complete all necessary
tasks including: participation in program content items; completion of written
lesson planning; presentation of an initial lesson lasting 10 to30 minutes,
including questions; conducting a 1 to 2 hour program for a Public Education
class or as Flotilla Member Training; passing a short exam with a score of 90%
(may be taken early in the program); and, having the MT-2 Certification for
Instructor signed by Mentor(s) and FC.
The Certification for Instructor forms are mailed to the ADSO PE/ID,
