FTOAcademy will be live December 1, 2024!
FTO Coaching Model Training & Certification
The FTOAcademy is a self-paced online training system to Train and Certify Field Training Officers in the Coaching Model of Field Training.
We developed the basic field training officer course by recording a week of actual live presentation by Coach Sokolove. We refined the video to 24 hours of instructional content across 65 lessons, between five and forty-five minutes in length. We added 100 questions throughout the course to emphasize the important concepts from each lesson. We created a private user forum where students can post questions, and we offer a one-hour live question-and-answer Zoom webinar two times each month.
Our courses are a flat, one-time fee. Students have 90 days to complete our courses. A certificate of completion is awarded at the end of each course.
Why choose the FTOAcademy over in-person:
- The FTOAcademy is less than 1/4 of the cost of sending an officer to an in-person course.
- Save hundreds on salary, transportation, meals, and overtime.
- You don’t lose manpower for a week. Officers take the course at their own pace, on the clock, or at your direction.
- We provide a .pdf version of the same FTO Manual you would receive at an in-person class.
- Officers can still meet and talk with Coach Sokolove face-to-face via our Zoom webinars twice monthly.
- A Certificate of Completion is awarded at the end of the course.
Considerations with online training:
- The FTOAcademy is not hosted, sponsored, or certified by local or state training boards. If you want official recognition or mandate fulfillment credits, you will have to submit the class to your local or state training board, just as you do with other online courses.
- Payment must be made with a credit card. We do not accept purchase orders or checks, and we do not offer refunds.
- Students must complete the course within 90 days.
