Certification Power

A Senior IE may be the lead conductor for any Instructor Development Program (IDP) so long as:

  • the IE is certified to certify students at the instructor level to be certified; and
  • the IE has taught a minimum of two (2) student level courses at that level.

Senior IE’s may co-teach at IE clinics.
Senior IE’s may lead an IE clinic once they have recertified as a Senior IE and have co-taught at one(1) IE clinic.

The IE must be in attendance during all evaluation components of an IDP.  IE’s who have not personally observed a candidate cannot recommend that candidate for certification.

Instructors/IEs must register annually prior to teaching or awarding CYA certifications.

An Instructor/IE Candidate should possess all prerequisites prior to enrolling in a clinic, and must complete all the requirements for certification within four months of the last day of the IDP in which the Instructor Candidate participated.

Recertification is required for all instructor/IE levels within 36 months of the first calendar yearend following the last day of an initial certification, recertification or instructor development clinic as authorized by the CYA LTC/P Committee.  During the three year period prior to recertification, the IE must have taught a combination of student and instructor standards and have done significant committee work recognized by the CYA LTC/P Committee. 

Recertification is by application to the CYA as per Training Division Policy Manual or by attending an IDP to renew or upgrade Instructor/IE qualifications.
