Ughhh.  I'm studying for a test to be an instructor in law enforcement.  Its my first time in "school" since I went to the police academy years ago.  First test is tomorrow.  Wish me luck!  Damn this is killing me! (back hurts, jaw hurts, eyes blurred, tired!)

That is all, carry on.

Getting the instructor cert has gotten progressively more difficult.  Good luck!

I took it at GPSTC under Tim Melton back in 2007.  Hardest class I have ever had at GPSTC.  There were NO shortcuts or gimme's during that course.  Good luck.

What's the subject of your 1 hour lesson/ presentation?

For those that don't know, the instructor training class at GPSTC has roughly a 50% failure rate.

I got lucky and I'm taking it at Cobb PD.  Its spread over a 6 week period. My lesson plan is going to be on my agency's shot house SOP and safety rules. I'm with the training division and drafted the SOP so its a good subject for me.

Oh yeah, I got a 96% on the test!

Good deal.  I did the GPSTC version.  Ten out of 16 in my class made it through.  The previous group was seven out of 17.

I took test two today.  I got a 100 after a question got thrown out.

Next, finish the lesson plan and turn it in, and then present the lesson plan!

Congrats. I was on the waiting list for that class but never got the all clear. Hopefully I'll get in one early 2014.

Congrats.

Congrats!  I took it back around 2000 when Josh was running it at GPSTC. I did my presentation on "Cleaning, Care and Maintenance of the Remington 700 SWS".

One of the guys in my class was a mounted cop from somewhere down in south central Georgia. He did his on mounted police work.........very interesting.

I learned alot from the lessons presented during the class.  BUI field sobriety tests were pretty cool.
