Instructor Development Program Workshops

Instructor Development Program (IDP) Workshops

Facility operations, concessions, security and human resources managers attend a train-the-trainer workshop called an Instructor Development Program (IDP) in order to become a certified TEAM trainer. Currently, TEAM has over 1,000 active trainers, all full-time managers of sports and entertainment facilities. After completing the workshop and passing the certification test, trainers train the TEAM program to their employees. Recertification every two years.
