Front Sight Only Hires the Finest |
The training regimen and test for instructors at Front Sight is extensive and difficult. According to Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s website, FrontSight.com, those instructor candidates who do not make the cut the first time around, but demonstrate professional level teaching skills, a customer service attitude and a willingness to study and practice their instructional skills to the levels required to become a Front Sight Instructor are invited to return to the four day Instructor Development Course and repeat it until they are certified to wear the Front Sight Instructor uniform. Even after successfully completing the Instructor Development Course the training continues through daily "Ongoing Instructor Development" blocks of instruction to fine tune and polish our instructor's teaching and communication skills. These intensive blocks of instruction and correction guarantee the highest degree of consistency, efficiency, and ability in Front Sight's entire instructional staff. Add to all that the fact that Front Sight instructors are expected to be able to perform what they are currently demanding of their students at the drop of a hat. This keeps the Front Sight instructors top of their game and their skills honed, in perfect condition to train America’s students & pilots. |
