Did you know that IREC ISPQ Certified Instructors and Master Trainers are required to document attendance at least 12 contact hours of Continuing Education or Instructor Training over your five-year award period?

You must demonstrate that you have actively taught courses relevant to your specialty during the five years. You must document the number of students you have instructed, and the student hours spent in the classroom or directly preparing course materials.
