About the Train the Trainer Course

'This CDR Technician Course Train-the-Trainer Certification course is an opportunity for qualified and experienced CDR Data Analysts to train others to the Technician Level. This course provides qualified individuals with an opportunity to teach the one day CDR Technician Course; the prerequisite to the CDR Data Analyst's Certification Course. It does not qualify one to teach the CDR Data Analyst's Certification Course.

Those who successfully complete this course and provide personalization information will be provided with a training materials CD personalized for that individual to teach the Technician Level course. That material cannot be changed or used in conjunction with some other Crash Data related course offering and is licensed to the individual instructor only for the 2 year period. This policy ensures that the Technician Level course material presented is the same each time it's offered. Periodic updates will be made available to registered trainers as the Trainer course and CDR program is updated during the term of the license.

During this course, prospective trainers are walked through the course material, slide-by-slide and the concepts and purpose of each topic is explained in detail so the prospective trainer can comfortably and professionally present that material on their own. Attendance at the Train The Trainer course alone is no guarantee an individual will successfully be licensed to teach the material. During this course, individual potential instructors are evaluated for their understanding of the material, ability to process and present the material and competence as an instructor in this specialized topic area.

Once an individual has successfully completed this course, to be issued a set of training materials, Technician level Trainers will be expected to:

• Agree to use only the course material provided as part of this training during their presentations of the Technician class
• Agree to not redistribute any part of the provided course presentation material and not subcontract another instructor to present this material for that individual certified trainer
• Agree to have on hand during the course presentation a sufficient number of accessible Ford, GM and Chrysler modules - each with stored data - to facilitate in-class download exercises for class sizes up to 30 students, and own a current Bosch CDR System which the certified trainer would use during the presentation of the Technician level class
