Launching May 2024 new GWO IQT and IQTX training courses for new and existing GWO trainers

What is GWO IQT

The aim of the Instructor Qualification Training Module (IQT) is to enable the participant to instruct and train following adult learning principles for an adult target audience.. These courses are an extra layer of instructor training beyond the 4-step POCD process.

IQT aims to address some of the quality issues that have occurred during GWO training courses by providing additional instruction around adult learning specific to the delivery of GWO courses.

In October of last year, STL USA’s lead instructor Brandon McKelvain was invited to join one of GWO’s train-the-trainer sessions to qualify to be able to train other instructors in the IQT standard.

Coupled to the recent audit STL USA passed we are now able to deliver both versions of the IQT standard for new and experienced instructors.
