Event Schedule

Day 1 – Classroom Training

Saturday, July 18
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Classroom instruction
Lunch included

Day 2 – On-Track Instructor Assessment

Sunday, July 19
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

In-car instructor evaluations with MSF mentors

Because SCDA offers a limited number of two-day events, Level 2 training is divided into two components:

Day 1: Classroom instruction
Day 2: On-track instructor assessments

This event at Thompson is limited to 10 instructor candidates to ensure individualized instruction and mentoring.

If you complete the classroom session but are unable to participate in the on-track assessment, you will not be required to repeat the classroom portion. You may simply register for a future SCDA event that offers the Level 2 on-track assessment.

Candidate Selection

The MSF Level 2 program requires significant instructor, mentor, and organizational resources. While all qualified candidates are welcome to apply, priority may be given to instructors who regularly support SCDA events.

What is MSF Level 2?

MSF Level 2 is the practical, hands-on instructor certification for HPDE coaches and instructors.

Classroom instruction on coaching techniques, communication, and safety
On-track instructor evaluations with experienced mentors
Real-world assessment of instructional skills and student management

Successful completion of Level 2 qualifies an instructor to begin providing in-car instruction with HPDE students, subject to SCDA approval.
