The Enform Certified Instructor Diploma (CID) has been developed to assist in the comprehensive improvement of Instructor training and as an advanced instructional training opportunity. Designed to meet the needs of both Enform’s and the oil and gas industry’s instructor base, the program ensures the creation and continuation of a qualified and effective instructional force and will assist in providing instructional excellence within training environments.

 

The program focuses on instructional theory (adult learning theory, content adaptation, enhanced delivery methodology and evaluation), 21st-century learning, instructional design, instructional delivery strategies, instructional technology, and professional growth strategies. It encompasses a set of instructional elements, criteria and competencies categorized within a matrix of Educational Learning Units.

 

Designated to be completed within a three-year time frame, each unit constitutes a compilation of instructional and performance requirements and supports the complexity of the oil and gas teaching and learning environment. Directed by Enform’s Board of Directors, the Certified Instructor Diploma has been designated as mandatory and applies to all Enform franchise instructors and instructors teaching Enform Certification courses. The program entails 32 instructor-based learning units that have been designed to meet the needs of the Enform Instructor cohort.

 

 This 4.5-day course must be completed by individuals who would like to become Enform fall protection instructors for both the Fall Protection Rig Work and Fall Protection (One-day OSSA) courses. It must be completed in addition to the 3.5-day Instructor Skills Workshop (ISW).

Topics include program standards, instructional techniques, practicum evaluation forms, lesson plans, instructor exam review and practice teaching sessions, followed by practical evaluations.

The hands-on portion of the training includes climbing safely to height using fall protection equipment, work positioning, anchorage connection, and transfer between fall protection systems. Successful completion of the course requires that participants be in good physical condition and be able to climb to a height of approximately four metres.
