Instructor Certification TrainingThe Georgia Public Safety Training Center offers instructor certification training programs that allow public safety officials to become certified to train other personnel in their local jurisdictions. The courses provided through the instructor certification training programs are designed for public safety personnel who are responsible for instruction in performance-oriented training or who are responsible for developing lesson plans.

General Instructor Certification

Through the Georgia Policy Academy Division, GPSTC offers a General Instructor Training program as well as a Departmental Officer Training program, both of which qualify for POST certification.

Senior and Master Instructor Certification

The Georgia Police Academy Division also manages GPSTC’s Senior and Master Instructor Training program. Once certified as a POST General Instructor, instructors may voluntarily pursue senior and master instructor trainer certification with POST through a series of teaching and evaluation sessions in the Instructor Training Course.
