Some agencies prefer a more structured approach than self-study alone and so PSLT has developed and delivered instructor led courses using the self-study materials. Two of these courses have been certified by the California P.O.S.T.

If you're bi-lingual, or have a bi-lingual colleague, you can show leadership and help your department become self-sufficient in Spanish language training. This Instructor Guide is designed to assist instructors to plan and lead  classroom sessions using “Tactical Spanish for Law Enforcement Officers” as a basis. Attendees will each use the self-study materials for homework assignments and as a refresher when the classroom sessions are complete.

The Instructor Guide includes a suggested schedule of topics for each classroom session along with techniques and tips for leading classroom sessions in an enjoyable and effective environment. These are the same techniques developed and used by PSLT with our existing clients.

Guidance is also provided for evaluating each attendee's progress - each class builds on the previous class so if an attendee is struggling then the earlier this is identified and addressed the better for the attendee.

Prospective instructors should be English/ Spanish bi-lingual and familiar with Latino culture. Some public speaking or adult teaching experience is helpful but not necessary. 

For each classroom session, guidance is provided as follows:

• objectives

• topics

• materials

• techniques

• related colloquial expressions and 

• homework assignments

The instructor will receive up to two hours of individual coaching from Alejandra Gomez and will be certified by PSLT to lead the training course "Spanish for Police Officers" on successful completion of the coaching. Certified instructors will have access to the downloads section of our web site where hundreds of flash cards are available containing key words and expressions.
