Instructor Development Program (IDP)

Background:

The APICS Instructor Development program was initiated in September 2008 to assure consistency and quality in the delivery of APICS educational materials to its clients and to the public at large. Initially the IDP was introduced as an option for instructors to be recognized by APICS as qualified to deliver APICS materials to clients seeking training outside of the public offerings offered by chapters. More recently however, IDP recognition has become an integral part of the proposed Chanel Partner Agreement (CPA), which specifies that "chapters will only use instructors who are actively engaged in Instructor Development Program for APICS programs".

Requirements:

The table below outlines the minimum requirements for qualification as an Associate, Lead, or Master instructor under the IDP. All Train-the-Trainer (TTT) and Learning Dynamics for Instructors (LDI) training must be taken from an APICS recognized Master of Instructor Training and may be co-taught by a recognized Lead or Associate, training instructor. Any TTT or LDI training completed prior to January 1, 2010, or training completed under a non-master training instructor will no longer be recognized by the IDP committee.
