Can TEC-U staff build my training course?

Although we are not the experts in your training needs, we can work with you to identify if your training is educationally sound, is the best method of delivery, and reaches the level of learning needed by your students. We can also audit your existing courses to point out training gaps. Our training experts help you transform a "briefing" into a teachable lesson with student participation and evaluations. We may help you achieve CCAF accreditation for some training. Please call (865) 336-3859 for more information.

Can TEC-U travel to deliver courses or the instructor certification?

Definitely, but at the requesting unit's or state's expense. We are happy to bring our professional development options or Instructor Certification Program to your unit to train a larger, more focused group of Airmen. The number of instructors needed is based on the customer's requested course of instruction.

Is the TEC accredited with the Community College of the Air Force?

Yes, both the Lankford EPME Center and TEC University have CCAF accreditations. Check with us to see if your course earns you college credits or you would like your course reviewed for CCAF accreditation.
