The Instructor Development Institute (IDI) was formed to provide standardized, multi-level,
multi-track programs to develop professionalism in the delivery of law enforcement instruction
  This is the official IDI web site, providing overview information, course schedules, POST Instructor Symposium and other useful information about on-going instructor development activities in California. Presenters of the individual IDI courses often have their own web sites and links may also be provided to those sites. There are two main communications sources for sharing IDI information; this web site and the POST IDI extranet. A link below explains the extranet and how it is used as well as how to get an invitation to join.

If you are a student in any of the levels of the IDI process you should be signed up for the IDI extranet. The extranet is in the process of being modified. It will be both an information source, course announcement capability and tracking database for the IDI process. Please send an email to IDIextranet@postidi.com providing your name, your current status in the IDI process, an email address and telephone number. You will be provided an email invitation with a link to this secure capability within 72 hrs. Please do this at your earliest opportunity.

POST INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTUAL PLAN

This document is the original conceptual plan for instructor development programming at the California Peace Officers Standards of Training (POST). It was developed by POST staff in conjunction with a number of presenter stakeholders over the course of several months. As such, it represents a foundation and framework to work from as POST creates new instructor development programs with our clients. The implementation of the concept is complete with the final course, the Master Instructor Certification Course (MICC) put into place in September, 2008.
