The PCM Train the Trainer Model
The PCMA employs a “train the trainer” model to allow user organizations to maintain the PCM certifications of their staff in a cost effective way.
Unlike other systems, all PCM Instructors are “first generation” instructors. That is, they have all been trained by the expert instructor trainers employed by PCMA. The quality of training is not “watered down” by allowing others to train instructors.
Instructors can either be trained at the user organization (if there are enough participants) or at the PCMA headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale Florida.
Typically, instructors are employed by user organizations and train the staff of the organization.
