|We currently can reliably use only the PF&R Training Center Main Classroom on weekends. The classroom components are limited to 50 people, because more makes it impossible to take questions. Managing 50 already demands a lot from instructors. Diligent searching by staff and NETs have not turned up other suitable facilities, at low or no cost. We have placed classes at locations such as Terwilliger Plaza as a convenience to some trainees. But there is added overhead for staff, and the quality of the learning environment is more difficult to maintain. '''[JVK note: Does the new burn pan help open possibilities?]'''
|Use the Annual Customer Service survey to schedule advanced classes based on volunteer interests.

* Develop and regularly offer a training about ‘How to Be an Excellent Instructor,’ separate from SME topic. Resources have been identified, but the project has not been a priority.  
* Staff should continue to focus on training trainers, not delivering classes themselves. The latter is unsustainable.
 
* The upfront investment can be high, but so is the return. In the long term, volunteer’s willingness to instruct for reduced rates, and for free, constrain costs.  


* Long-term, cultivate a more robust culture of volunteer and paid SME trainers, expanding on past successes of individuals rising through the ranks.  
* Ongoing management and vetting of instructors is critical, so that volunteers continue to know that training offered by PBEM is high quality.  


* Short-term, identify a solution to the shortage of qualified instructors for the Medical and Disaster Psychology units (3, 4, 5).  
* Address Instructor Constraints Develop and regularly offer a training about ‘How to Be an Excellent Instructor,’ separate from SME topic. Resources have been identified, but the project has not been a priority.  


* Better develop the regional trainer list. Jurisdictions appear to still maintain their own privately, and have contributed few to [[Instructors|the public list]].
* Demonstrated success with this model:
** VSF02 – Radio/RTLs
** VSF08 – NET HSI Instructor cadre
** VSF14 – Speakers Bureau
