What is the IQT Review Project? Ongoing assessments of IQT trainers have provided valuable insights into the effectiveness of this training. While the standard has been successful in training new instructors and enhancing their skills, training providers, IQT Trainers and project managers have identified specific areas for improvement. These points for development aim to better support new instructors and those seeking to upgrade their skills through the Instructor Qualification Crossover (IQTX) module.
The aim of the IQTX is to update experienced GWO instructors on their knowledge of the GWO Taxonomy Framework and align their understanding of adult learning principles with IQT competences. A feature of the new IQT Standard is that the IQT module (9- day course) and the IQTX module (3-day course) now share the same overall learning objectives. The reason for this change is twofold: • experienced instructors have enough experience and knowledge for the 3-day IQTX module to bring them to IQT level • the GWO Requirements for Training equates both the IQT and the IQTX modules as prerequisites for joining the IQ process for module-specific delivery.
What is the purpose of the IQT Public Hearing?
As you prepare your feedback for the Instructor Qualification Training (IQT) Standard Review and Refresher public review, you’re welcome to consider the wider context of the adjustments and changes from the work group has identified in section A and the specific areas for improvement in section B listed below. Practically, this means that the community of training providers, members and all other interested parties will be able to submit their feedback to inform the final editorial decision process. Important adjustments have been to the design of the three IQT modules, updating governance and aligning wordings, lesson structures and points of taxonomy. The IQT Public Hearing will ensure transparency in the decision-making process of which changes need implementing in the current IQT standard document.
