Any advice to help prepare for Army Basic Instructor Course or Small Group Instructor Training?

Bring an interesting topic along with access to info. Make sure if you are using PowerPoint, you have pictures to go along with what you are presenting. Not just slides full of wording. It's not hard, just don't get nervous and don't use any "ummmm" when speaking.

Just like everyone else has mentioned already, definitely work on your crutch words. Understanding adult learning principles will probably help give you a head start. You will make a lesson plan and teach the class you make twice in ABIC. Once for 30 mins and once for an hour. Be open to receiving a lot of feedback. You can google SGITC student reference guide for the reference material. Both courses are great and will definitely help you become a better trainer! Wish you the best.

I just went to the fort Campbell course in October. I have instructed a lot of training but the way the army wants classes taught had changed. Best advise I can give is keep an open mind and try to identify words you use over and over again while talking like um, uh, alright, like, and so on. And last but not least learn to use APCE which stands for ask pause call and evaluate. Hope this helps
