The end-of-course exercise requires students to present a class over the VTT and they are evaluated according to an evaluation checklist. The VTTITC focuses on developing specific instructor competencies. The course teaches proficiency in operating main and auxiliary cameras and multimedia equipment; provides skill and knowledge to design effective VTT instruction for delivery over TNET; identifies how VTT instructor interfaces with site coordinator; and provides skills to deliver quality instruction using VTT.

The Video Teletraining Instructor Training Course is offered for the Army National Guard (ARNG) and Army Reserve (AR) on designated weekends as VTTITC (ARNG/AR) on the training schedule. The VTTITC (ARNG/AR) requires two weekends to complete the course.

Systems Approach to Training Basic Course (SATBC)

The SATBC is a 40-hour course designed for delivery over video teletraining or in a traditional classroom.

The U.S. Army's requirement for mission-focused, task-based training is embodied in the philosophy of the Systems Approach to Training (SAT). SAT is a disciplined, logical approach to making collective, individual, and self-development training decisions for the Total Army.

The SATBC target population includes Active and Reserve Component noncommissioned, warrant, and commissioned officers and DoD civilians assigned for the first time to develop training or training products using the SAT. This includes persons assigned to positions coded as training developers as well as TASS instructors who must develop training.

The goals of the SATBC are to--

1. Familiarize new training developers with the five-phased SAT process because knowing about and using the SAT process serve as the basis for standardized Army training.

2. Train new training developers in how to use the SAT Desk Reference as a job aid when performing tasks associated with the SAT process.

Army Basic Instructor Course (ABIC)

The Army Basic Instructor Course (ABIC), previously called Battle-Focused Instructor Training Course and Instructor Training Course, is a comprehensive core course that trains Active and Reserve Component instructors to deliver battle-focused training in The Army School System (TASS). The ABIC
is designed for delivery in the traditional classroom setting or via distance learning. The total length of the course is 80 hours.

The ABIC consists of planning, preparing, and presenting Army training. The basic method for Army instructors is previewing and presenting the task, practicing the task, and performing the task to standard during evaluation. This method is enhanced during this course by applying a variety of presentation and practice methods and training techniques. The course also addresses how instructors motivate soldiers and solve soldier performance problems using positive reinforcement, on-the-spot corrections, and soldiers counseling.

The ABIC stresses standardization in format and content. The course provides the instructor with standardized references and lesson plans for presenting instruction, a Training Support Package with visuals for multi-media use, and practical exercise and presentation evaluation forms.

Course prerequisites: Assignment or pending assignment as an instructor. Military must meet height and weight standards IAW AR 600-9. Military must pass most recent APFT.
