How do you ensure the volunteer instructors are credible?

All of The New Gen's instructor go through a 4-step process. They begin by sending us their resume. If they are knowledgeable in the area in which they wish to teach, they will then be directed through an interview. If it is clear that they demonstrate a genuine passion for teaching, will be committed to their responsibility, and follow by our same values, the prospective instructor will then receive an orientation at a separate date. Lastly, it is mandatory for all of our instructors to sign a contract form, regarding informational privacy between the student and instructor, and as well as their responsibilities.
