Instructor candidates will teach IRF Guide & Trip Leader skills as well as facilitate assessments. Instructor Trainers are required to be rigorous and meticulous when assessing Instructor candidates to ensure that all Instructors are conforming to the established norms. Except in cases where the Instructor candidate can prove extensive experience as a guide trainer/instructor, all candidates must first hold an IRF Trip Leader certification thus gaining a better understanding of the GTE assessment curriculum and skills requirements.
