National Certification Program

Our Training Reviewers

Learn about the training reviewers responsible for course certification. The IADLEST National Certification Program is bringing 3rd party validation to law enforcement training and we can do it by leveraging the talent of many content and instructional design experts from all over the country. These individuals have been highly recommended by POST Directors from each state and have the credentials to back up this recommendation. We will assign courses to the specific reviewers who have content expertise, to assess and evaluate the courses submitted for IADLEST certification.
