The DOT Instructors class starts promptly at 8:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 16 and will run until at least 5:00 p.m. You will be expected to give a 30-minute presentation on Friday afternoon. You will need to provide all EMS and AV equipment for your presentation. Your topic will be assigned on the first day of the course. I have included an outline for your presentation. Each item in the outline must be included. The course covers a lot of material in a short amount of time, so please come prepared. You should plan on studying during the evenings. 
 
This course follows the National Standard Curriculum published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. There is an instructor guide for the course, but not a student’s version. Therefore, a textbook is not provided. If you would like a copy of the guide you can obtain it from NHTSA’a web site. (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/ems/Instructor/instructor_ems/2002_national_guidelines.htm#Module%201:%20Introduction)  I recommend you use an instructor resource manual. The publisher of the textbooks creates these. Please contact your training center for more information on the publisher used.
