Meeting all prerequisites for an Approved Instructor Candidate Program is not a guarantee of acceptance. There are many factors which must be taken into consideration in choosing candidates for an Approved Instructor Program. ICISF serves the worldwide community and must provide instructors in areas with limited or no CISM resources. When candidates are chosen, ICISF considers need by country/state geographical area, experience, prior training, professional background, current number of instructors in the region, ICISF membership, proof of required supporting documentation/completed application and class size availability.
