Become An Instructor

There are two primary candidates for our licensed instructor program:

1) Women Instructors for Women’s Events: There are two (2) for-profit women’s seminars that allow licensed female instructors to market these seminars in their respective communities. Women of any background, whether they wish to pursue these events full-time or part-time, are welcome to contact us to become a licensed Trouble Spotter in your area.

2) Women and Men Instructors for General Events: All other presentations are designed for co-ed audiences, though they “can” be offered to specifically male or female groups, even for younger audiences. These are not as lengthy (nor in-depth) as the two-hour women-only events, but nonetheless offer very unique and relevant strategies to any and all audiences of interest. It is suggested that interested instructors have another business where these presentations could be utilized as a marketing and/or public relations tool for that business. See the list of complimentary professions below where this may apply.

Who Would Be Good Instructor Prospects?

For the first women-to-women’s training, any women with experience in public speaking, sales, training, education, or similar would probably make the best prospect as an instructor. However, a passion to help and empower other women to live safer lives is valued most. Some of the more obvious women who might consider this track include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Teachers
  • Counselors/Psychologists
  • Attorneys
  • Financial Advisors
  • PTA/PTO/PTF Leaders at High Schools
  • Deans of Women
  • Sorority or Sorority Alumni Leaders

For the second tier of pro bono instructors, many of the same qualifications apply, but regarding what businesses or professionals would likely benefit most from using Trouble Spotters as a marketing or public relations tool might include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Technology-based Security Professionals (alarm, camera, etc companies)
  • Person-based Security Professionals (guard service companies)
  • Property Casualty Insurance Agents
  • Ministers/Youth Ministers
