Become an IIBEC Approved Instructor

RCI Technical Presentation Speaker

An approved instructor must be technically sound, experienced in the topic, and practicing in the field being taught. To assure a broad-based technical soundness, instructors should be RRCs for roof-related courses and RWCs for the waterproofing offerings. There may be exceptions if the individual is highly qualified in a specific segment being taught.

One must also be an effective educator. This involves delivery technique, subject-matter knowledge, and the ability to relate positively with the class. To be included on the list of IIBEC Approved Instructors, an individual must have taught on two different occasions with high student evaluations and have attended an IIBEC Train the Trainer program.
