Job Description:

The Training Coordinator is primarily responsible for developing CB related technical courses, providing curriculum revision and instruction to various customers. Technical curriculum may involve courses relating to chemical, biological agents, CB detector systems, assessing and sampling techniques, use of various personal protective equipment and decontamination processes.

Courses may be instructor based, computer-based, simulator based, interactive, or non-interactive.
This instructor also teaches short technical courses in accordance with approved curriculum to maintain proficiency and to evaluate and develop new instructional techniques/courses. Job duties also include the following: incorporation of new curriculum in the teaching process (e.g., develops clarification or examples of application related to the subject matter), development and maintenance of classroom techniques that reflect professionalism and good discipline and enhance teaching, development of alternative teaching techniques and scenarios to maintain high motivation and interest in the subject areas, and while acting as the testing officer, the conducting of test analysis and development or revision of test items.
