What We Look for in an Instructor

When we hire our instructors, we want to know three things:

1. Do they have a formal education?
2. Have they ever spent time in the field doing actual work?
3. Are they experts at teaching?

If they answer "yes" to all these questions, then we start getting picky. Instructors who want to teach with American Trainco truly need to be a leader in their field. We don't hire field people without teaching experience, and we don't hire teachers without field experience. Our instructors need to have both, and are required to keep our classrooms entertaining and lively, ensuring our students a positive and enjoyable learning experience.

Anyone can teach theory, but there simply is no substitute for experience. What sets American Trainco apart is our ability to communicate that experience into the brains of our students. As one attendee told us at the end of his two-day training course, "I think I can go back to work now and teach the veterans a thing or two."
