How do I become an ALSG instructor?

There is no guarantee any candidate will be selected for instructor training. To become an ALSG provider course Instructor you should first attend the provider course by booking a place via our web site https://www.alsg.org. The faculty teaching on the courses are looking for potential instructors to join the ALSG Instructor group.

If you are selected for instructor training you will be informed at the end of the course and this will be followed with an email from ALSG once the course returns have been submitted to us and processed. Please note this can be up to 8 weeks post course. If you have not heard from us in this time frame and have been told you were selected please fill in this form: http://bit.ly/IP_selection

If you are selected you will be required to attend the Generic Instructor Course (GIC) and then do two Instructor Candidate (IC) placements before proceeding to Full Instructor status for your specific provider course.

How do I access the instructor e-modules?

The instructor e-modules are available via the 'Access my e-modules' in the central column on the menu.

Click each topic to launch them and you will receive a tick once each is completed. Depending on the course type there may be assessments or MCQs.  Once you have completed all of the elements in the list for your specific course type, you will be able to download a certificate.  Instructors are required to complete the e-modules for their course type every 2 years.

How do I book to teach on a course?

You should also have completed the requirements within the instructor activity regulations.  See the regulations which changed from 1^st January 2018, here.
