CSAO trains instructors from construction and other sectors to deliver CSAO programs. To take an Instructor Workshops, you must have completed CSAO's version of the course you wish to teach within the past year. Delivery of the course must adhere to uniform standards of content, presentation, and testing.

Instructors are shown how to deliver the programs using all required support materials such as instructor’s guides, lesson plans, overheads, participant workbooks, and, in some cases, hardware and equipment kits.

For those who have taken one of CSAO's Instructor Workshops and have received an instructor number, there are a number of resources available to you.

Instructor Workshops
Forms

CSAO will no longer be tracking data into our database by non-CSAO trainers. Therefore industry trainers will no longer submit participant registration forms and instructor forms to CSAO.

Non-CSAO trainers will be expected to issue their own records of training on completion of programs. Blank training cards will be available when you order your Participant Workbooks. Instructors must order the material required to teach the course.

If you require an updated version of the CD-ROM for an Instructor Workshop you have completed, please contact Susan MacMillan in the Advisory Department (susanmm@csao.org)
