Title of the course should provide detail regarding course content.
Course description provides enough detail for reviewer and readers to understand what content is covered in the course.
All instructors tied to the course are verified to train on the Standard Areas aligned to the course.
Organizations will no longer list authorized instructors with the course. Instructors are to be manually listed at the event level.
Professional Standard Area objectives chosen are the best match to the content included in the course. The selected objectives should be the expected participant outcomes after participating in the course.
Hours spent on objectives within a Standard Area should reflect the actual “time on task” for the selected learning objectives. Suggested time on task is 2 learning objectives for each course hour.
Look at the level of objectives chosen and ensure the “course level” aligns. If the course level selected is C1, then all selected PSA objectives will be (C1). If the course level selected is C2, then most objectives should be (C2), but some may be (C1). If the course level selected is C3, then most objectives should be (C3), with some possible (C2) and (C1) objectives. Please refer to the Course Level and Learning Objective Alignment Cheat Sheet. Choose an already populated learning objective before adding “other” objectives.
Choose resources that are relevant, from the PA specific resources (when able) and current (not outdated – except seminal research).
