How do Firebrand ensure they have the best instructors and how are they sourced?

Firebrand goes through a rigorous sourcing and on-boarding process for instructors to ensure that we take on the right people for our unique way of delivering professional training. Firebrand use multiple methods to source possible instructors, including:

  • Word of mouth
  • LinkedIn
  • Website advertisements
  • Agencies

Once sourced, the potential instructors will have multiple conversations with the instructor team to ensure they are aware of set expectations and will be given an overview of the Firebrand approach to training.

The potential instructors will need to provide their relevant experience and list achieved qualifications, all of which is reviewed by subject matter experts.

Instructors are invited to attend a 'Train the Trainer' weekend where they will be given a presentation brief and will be expected to deliver a 'live' delivery in front of current Firebrand instructors This delivery will be judged by a panel of Firebrand instructors, who will assess elements including:

  • Use of presentation materials
  • Engagement
  • Classroom management
  • Content accuracy
  • Subject matter expertise

The team also considers bringing on instructors that could be further trained and developed if they show potential, knowledge and embody Firebrand's values.

Once the contracts and offers of service have been agreed, the instructors will deliver their first course with a full-time Firebrand instructor in a 'dual teach' situation. This is to ensure that any issues with the delivery are captured and are fed back to the instructor as quickly as possible. The instructor will also have an apprenticeship induction, including DBS checks and Prevent and Safeguarding training.

Throughout their career at Firebrand, our trainers' skills and knowledge will be continuously developed through training sessions.
