CIT Curriculum Train-the-Trainer

Course Tuition:  $2,000

Prerequisite:  CIT Coordinator's Certification Course


CIT International provides a train-the-trainer course on how to deliver a national CIT 40-hour curriculum known as Crisis Reponse and Intervention Training (CRIT).  This curriculum is based on the CIT Memphis Model.  This curriculum was developed by CIT International subject matter experts along with other national partners.  The creation of this train the trainer course was led by CIT International and included the International Associations of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Policy Research Associates (PRA), National Policing Institute (NPI) and the ARC.  The work on developing the curriculum and train the trainer was funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. 

Learn from master instructors on how to conduct the week-long 40-hour training, gain or improve your trainer skills as well as receive the complete curriculum including course materials, presentations, instructor's guide and everything needed to design and conduct the course in your community for your law enforcement officers and other crisis first responders.

The Course

The curriculum train-the-trainer course is a 4-day in-person course of instruction. The course is appropriate for all CIT coordinators who may be responsible or co-responsible for conducting a 40-hour week long CIT/CRIT training for law enforcement and other crisis first responders. Class size will be limited to no more than 20 students.  A block of hotel rooms have been negotiated at the training hotel at a reduced price.  

In addition to attending the entire 4-day course of instruction, attendees will be required to demonstrate efficiency at being able to deliver portions of the material to successfully complete this course of instruction.  Upon successful completion of the course, the attendee will receive a certificate of completion for the train-the-trainer course and a USB drive containing all of the materials required to conduct a CIT/CRIT 40-hour training.  In addition, those receiving the certification of completion, you will have access to the materials, and any updates that we post in the Instructor Portal on this page.
