The instructor update class is a much less formal process and generally takes only one day.  Trainers can provide instructor updates as one of their offerings.  What is involved in an update class is a great question.

• Discipline skills assessment, all skills do not need to be assessed.
• Cover all changes in the discipline that have taken place over the past 5 years.
• Cover all changes in the ACA that have taken place over the past 5 years.  A great example are the relatively new First Aid and CPR requirements.  The new skills assessment program is another great example.
• Share teaching techniques.
• Verify teaching skills.
• Verify the instructor knows about all the various ways to register and report skills and assessment courses.

The objective of an update class is pretty simple - ensure the instructor stays current in knowledge of the discipline and the ACA.
