DoDM 3305.10, May 27, 2014ENCLOSURE 3ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENTS1. INTRODUCTION. Accreditation applies to DoD education and training institutions and theGEOINT certification program. Accreditation assures the quality of the institution orcertification program and assists in the improvement of the institution or certification program.2. ACCREDITATION FOR INSTITUTIONSa. Bodies that conduct institutional accreditation are national or regional in scope andconsider the characteristics of whole institutions. An institutional accrediting body givesattention not only to the offerings of the institutions it accredits, but to other institutionalcharacteristics such as student personnel services, financial status, administrative structure,facilities, and equipment.b. To be accredited, DoD GEOINT institutions and programs must meet applicable DoDComponent published standards and the associated criteria of a U.S. Secretary of Educationrecognized accrediting agency, such as the Council on Occupational Education.c. DoD GEOINT institutions and programs must also meet the standards and associatedcriteria established by Director, NGA, as the Defense GEOINT Manager outlines.d. It is the responsibility of the DoD institution sponsoring the accreditation process toinform the accrediting organization of any security clearance requirements during theestablishment of its candidacy.3. ACCREDITATION FOR THE GEOINT CERTIFICATION PROGRAMa. Certifications developed in accordance with this manual must be accredited and maintainaccreditation as described in the Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs andthe Quality Standard for Assessment-Based Certificate Programs (References (n) and (o),respectively).b. The GEOINT certification program must meet the published standards of the nationallyrecognized certification accreditation body, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies(NCCA) to be accredited. The application process and establishment of candidacy for NCCAaccreditation is described in References (n) and (o).4. DoD INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION STANDARDa. Purpose. The DoD Instructor Certification Standard:Change 2, 09/14/202011ENCLOSURE 3

DoDM 3305.10, May 27, 2014(1) Establishes standards for basic instructor certification to ensure fully competentlearning facilitators conduct all DoD education and training.(2) Provides a basic framework for the development and certification of instructorswithin the DoD training and education enterprise to complement existing instructor developmentand certification programs.(3) Applies to all instructors and faculty within the DoD training and educationcomponents subject to the provisions of Reference (d).(4) Establishes general guidelines for basic instructor development, evaluation, andcertification.(5) Supplements policy already in place within the respective DoD education andtraining institutions.b. Requirements. Each school must have policies addressing:(1) Organizational requirements for instructor development, evaluation, and certification.These requirements, at a minimum, include the criteria for the basic DoD instructor certificationas well as address the professional conduct of instructors.(2) Instructor qualification criteria leading to certification. Criteria include traditionaland distributed learning formats as applicable.(3) Required subject matter certifications where applicable (e.g., language, weaponsqualifications).(4) Recertification procedures.(5) Advanced instructor certification procedures.(6) Instructor mentoring.(7) Standards and methods for observing and evaluating instructor classroomperformance and performance review frequency.(8) Waiver procedures.(9) Continuing education requirements for instructors.c. Criteria for Basic DoD Instructor Certification. All instructors teaching courses orportions of courses (e.g., units, blocks, modules) in DoD education and training institutions mustbe certified or in the process of obtaining certification at the basic DoD instructor level or above.The criteria to achieve basic DoD instructor certification are:Change 2, 09/14/202012ENCLOSURE 3

DoDM 3305.10, May 27, 2014(1) Subject Matter Expertise. Instructors must possess sufficient expertise in the fieldthey are teaching to address the material being taught.(2) Instructor Qualifications. An instructor must achieve, at a minimum, the basicinstructor competencies outlined in Figure 1. Instructor competencies are accomplished bycompleting a basic instructor course within the first 12 months of teaching or meetinginstitutional waiver requirements if an individual successfully completes previous instructorcourses meeting the listed competencies. Instructors must attend a basic instructor course priorto teaching any course (or portion thereof) without supervision unless a school official withdesignated waiver authority grants a waiver as detailed in the school’s administrative andmanagement policy.Figure 1. Basic Level Instructor CompetenciesBasic Level Instructor Competencies: Knowledge of adult learning principlesKnowledge of the instructional systems design processKnowledge of distance learning and delivery mechanisms*Knowledge of basic course and curriculum evaluationFace-to-face presentation skills to include integration with appropriateteaching methods**Basic classroom management skillsBasic assessment of student learning skills and skills in the delivery ofadequate feedbackBasic facilitation skillsAwareness of learning transfer*This competency is required because some DoD schools start their instructorsteaching in a distance learning environment immediately.**Face-to-face can mean any opportunity for learning where the learner andinstructor are co-located.(3) Knowledge of Course Content and Delivery. Prior to teaching, instructors mustdemonstrate content proficiency, either by completing the current version of the course orportion thereof as a student (including online and classroom portions of a hybrid course) orcompleting an earlier version of the course or portion thereof that is substantially similar to thecurrent course. Instructors may be exempt from taking a course as a student if they have gainedsufficient knowledge of course content through activities such as substantial participation in acourse’s design and development.Change 2, 09/14/202013ENCLOSURE 3

DoDM 3305.10, May 27, 2014(4) Supervised Instruction. It is imperative that instructors continually strive to improvetheir ability to instruct. To that end, all instructors must successfully teach a course (orapplicable portion thereof) under the supervision of a fully qualified instructor unless a schoolofficial with designated waiver authority grants a waiver, as detailed in the school’sadministrative and management policy. Figure 2 provides a checklist for observing instructorsassessing an instructor in the classroom or in the particular environment called for as a course orclass requirement.Figure 2.

DoDM 3305.10, May 27, 2014(5) Certification Assessment. After meeting all the criteria listed in Figure 2, allinstructors are formally assessed using their institution’s instructor assessment and certificationprocess. The assessment criteria must include, at a minimum, the applicable criteria outlined inFigure 2. This assessment serves as the capstone for certification at the basic DoD instructorlevel. It should be followed by a combination of recurring formative and summative assessmentssystematically administered throughout the instructor’s tenure.d. Implementing Guidance. Each school implements as follows:(1) Current instructors and school administrators identified as meeting their school’sfirst-level instructor certification are granted basic DoD instructor certification. If a school’scriteria for attaining first-level certification meet the basic DoD instructor standards, instructorsconcurrently receive the basic DoD instructor certification upon meeting the school’scertification requirements.(2) Former instructors must meet an individual school’s recertification requirementsprior to being granted basic DoD instructor certification.(3) Once certified, instructors are required to meet each individual school’srecertification regimen, which includes meeting its evaluation standards on a periodic basis andadhering to an annual continuous learning requirement. Continuous learning events may include,but are not limited to, attending instructional conferences, building and conducting seminars onselected topics, or completing education and training courses. The recurrence of recertificationwill factor in the school’s instructor demographics and the requirements of its faculty and staffdevelopment strategy. At a minimum, it is recommended that full-time faculty be recertifiedannually.(4) Successful completion of the requirements for basic DoD instructor certification isrecognized by a certificate the DoD Intelligence Chief Learning Officer signs.(5) It is expected that the adoption by the DoD Components carrying out GEOINTactivities of this common instructor certification standard allows mutual recognition of anindividual’s previous teaching certification among all Intelligence Community (IC) members.Such mutual recognition does not imply that an individual who transfers between DoD educationand training institutions has license to begin teaching immediately at a new school. Rather, itmeans an individual’s certification is acknowledged as a starting point in preparing to operate inthe new institution’s specific environment and in accordance with its policies and directives.e. Oversight of the Standards. To assure alignment of the DoD education and traininginstitutions to these standards, and to encourage best practices among all DoD learninginstitutions, the USD(I&S) conducts biennial staff assistance visits (SAVs) with each institution.The results of these SAVs will be shared with all DoD education and training institutions to trackthe progress of each school in meeting these standards and leverage the best employed practicesto meet these standards for the mutual benefit of all institutions. Recommended best practicesinclude:Change 2, 09/14/202015ENCLOSURE 3
