Instructor qualifications are based on each state’s requirements. Some states require a certification training course. In addition, Academic Platforms requires preceptors to complete specific training on how to teach the skills component of our course using our technology.
We have a training program for instructors leading the skills portion of the course. Instructors can be trained in a few hours.
Each group of students will require an instrutor that meets the state requirements and is also trained on our program. The most likely source will be from the organization itself or through a contracted instructor.
Yes, it is web based. There are two basic requirements, you must have a web browser (Google or Chrome is preferred), and you must have a connection to the internet. It is no different than loading a web page, or doing a Google search.
The classroom portion is delivered online, and clinical skills training is done in person at a provider facility or lab.
The online program is web-based and is accessible through smart phones, tablets, laptops, and personal computers.

Clinical skills instruction and training will be done in an approved lab setting. Options include facilities that meet regulatory compliance parameters and nonfacility training labs.
