About this Learning Experience
DACUM International Training Center associates have over 25 years of experience conducting DACUM workshops for clients in a variety of settings from companies to community colleges to government agencies and professional organizations. Many organizations choose to have us conduct their workshops to take advantage of this experience and expertise and ensure a productive outcome. The client and DACUM facilitators facilitate the workshop to deliver a professional analysis with a DACUM chart as the outcome.

About this Learning Experience
Our SCID institute is a follow-on program to the Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) training. It picks up where DACUM leaves off and teaches you how to develop components of a competency-based training program. Participation in the DACUM training is a prerequisite.
Participants will acquire the knowledge and skills to be able to verify and prioritize tasks and develop competency-based instructional materials such as task analysis, scope and sequence document, on-the-job training (OJT) manual, and performance assessments. Individual work and group instruction are supplemented with instructor coaching and feedback to make it a truly hands-on learning experience.
Timeline
Approximately 40 hours of instruction over an 8-week timeframe
Format
This online institute includes asynchronous (does not take place in real-time), self-paced learning experiences available 24/7 as well as several synchronous meetings at intervals throughout the 8-week institute. You will engage with self-knowledge checks, videos, discussion forums, synchronous meetings with fellow participants, and coaching sessions with institute team-leaders.
