Prospective L-Course Provider Information
|
|
Step 1 - Examine the course design criteria. http://www.fireleadership.gov/courses/L_380/criteria.html Review the Wildland Fire Leadership
Development Program website to learn about the Leadership Toolbox and
the Leadership Values and Principles. Contact a NWCG Leadership
Committee member if you have any questions. |
| Step 2 - Determine
internal capability to develop and deliver a training product that meets
the established intent and criteria. |
|
Step 3 - Contact wildland fire agency training officers to research market need and establish customer(s). Recommend a letter of introduction that includes: general description of expertise; roster of instructor with qualifications and experience; and statement affirming review of the criteria and describing intended process to be used for developing a training product to meet the criteria. http://www.nationalfiretraining.net/geomap.htm#Primary%20Geographic%20Area%20Training%20Contacts |
| Step 4 - Negotiate
agreement with customer to host delivery of an alpha test course and a subsequent
number of course deliveries if alpha product receives satisfactory evaluation. |
Step 5 - Insure customer contacts appropriate agency personnel in advance to initiate the evaluation process. Some agencies require that providers be formally certified. Be prepared to engage with the customer agency in a formative evaluation process. In addition to an initial alpha test course, past vendors have required one or more follow-up beta courses prior to receiving certification. Recommend this contact be made at least 4 months prior to test course date. http://www.fireleadership.gov/courses/L_380/evaluation_process.doc |
