Supervising and Managing the FTO Unit
Greenwich, CT
Unfortunately, this class has been postponed due to low numbers registering for the training. We will reschedule it for dates TBD after July 01, 2022.
***Important Registration Information***
You are able to register multiple attendees on one registration. However, only the person originating the registration will receive a confirmation message. Please be sure to forward the confirmation message you receive to other attendees that have also been registered.
If you wish to register additional attendees later, please use a different email address (such as one of the new attendees) and create a new, separate registration as the system does not allow multiple registrations under the same email address.
This class is designed for line supervisors and administrators assigned the responsibility of overseeing a field training unit. One of the key elements of success in a field training program is program management. Often programs will train the FTO, but fail to prepare the supervisor for the variety of tasks required to properly coordinate, administrate and lead the field training unit. This course will prepare the Field Training Manger (FTM) and Field Training Coordinator (FTC) for the requirements of their positions.
Managing the FTO Unit will provide the students with the following: an understanding of the importance of program structure and standardization; duties and responsibilities of the FTM and FTC; leadership skills necessary for the position; recognizing poor performance and steps to correct the same; utilizing the Daily Observation Report; creating a Weekly Manager’s Report; and debriefing the student and FTO regarding performance.
The course will also cover the selection and removal of the FTO, utilizing the FTO program as a retraining tool, and the discussion of civil liability and legal issues regarding Field Training Programs through existing policies and procedures.
This is a “hands on” course that will not only provide students with the necessary information to successfully supervise and manage the unit, but will also utilize practical exercises with real world problems to develop the students’ skills and give them confidence in their abilities to effectively manage a field training unit.
