CorePass® Workplace Trainer

CorePass® Workplace Trainer is designed to provide an entry-level certification for those developing and delivering skill lessons.

IPSQA focuses on assessment rather than training, which is why we do not offer role-specific instructor certifications. This approach helps maintain the integrity and impartiality of our assessment practices. However, we recognize the critical importance of training in public safety and offer non-role specific educator certifications, such as the CorePass® Workplace Trainer certification.

The CorePass® Workplace Trainer certification is a comprehensive, quality-assured program designed to equip public safety professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to become effective educators. This certification covers both theoretical principles and practical applications, ensuring that certified trainers are well-prepared to embark on their journey as professional public safety educators.

The benefit of CorePass® is that agencies can take back control of their training and deliver instructor courses as they want. CorePass® can be integrated into the course, used as a summative assessment for the course or as part of Recognition of Current Competency for existing experienced trainers wanting a formal credential.

By offering this certification, we support the development of skilled trainers in the public safety sector while maintaining a clear distinction between assessment and training functions. This approach allows us to uphold the highest standards of quality and objectivity in both areas.
