WHAT ARE THE CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS?
Instructor Certification is currently offered only to those sponsored by a public safety agency, unless otherwise approved. Non-profit entities receive a discount. Our certification equips instructors to teach various levels of students besides just first responders. These may include civilian personnel working in public safety, therapists and social workers, non-profit staff, high school students, training cadets, military, or spouses/family members of first responders.
Certification courses take place in Fort Worth, Texas over a period of 1-3 days. We offer travel and lodging arrangements that consider cost, quality, location, and safety.
CAN YOU RECEIVE TRAINING CREDITS?
Although we do not sponsor training credits towards your certification, we do provide the supplemental requirements if your department sponsors your credits. Please let us know you will be needing this prior to your training; there is no additional charge for this service.

PRIVATE TRAINING VS. GROUP TRAINING
Private training is scheduled during “OPEN” or “PRIVATE ONLY” training blocks throughout the year. This is usually for a department or combined departments (both police and fire) that have larger amounts to certify at once or have schedule conflicts with our GROUP TRAINING.
If private training is out of your budget, we recommend GROUP TRAINING, with means you will be in a class that is conducted by Minding the Badge and will included diverse police, fire, and other public safety staff from around the country. Not only is this training at a substantial discount, but we believe you will benefit from the impact of such versatile cultural backgrounds.
