CMHA authorizes two types of instructors for its installer courses – contractors and technical instructors. Both types of instructors must meet the same basic requirements with contractor instructors needing additional installation experience. Instructors must be authorized for each course they desire to teach. Those seeking to be instructors must also take the Adult Educator Course and Course-Specific Instructor Training.
