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.
