1. Apply to Become Enabled to Teach Application Development V6 Courses
   
   Instructor applicants must first apply to become enabled to teach these application development courses and sign the Instructor Agreement. At that time, they must provide information showing they have the necessary prerequisite technical skills and instructional background.
   
   Information on applying to become a WebSphere instructor can be found on the Education Centers for IBM Software (ECIS) Web site.
   
   
   1. Prerequisite Technical Skills
      
      In order to be accepted to become enabled to teach these application development courses, the instructor must have a Java programming background and experience programming with servlets and JSPs.
      
      
   2. Prerequisite Instructional Background
      
      As a general requirement, in order to be accepted for enablement to teach WebSphere courses, there must be a demonstration of instructional skills. This requirement can be satisfied in any of the following ways:
      
      
   1. Present an industry instructor certification, such as (but not limited to):
      • Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+)
      • Certified Lotus Instructor
      • Tivoli Certified Instructor
      • Certified Novell Instructor
   
   
   2. If the instructor has not previously obtained an industry instructor certification, then a CTT+ certification can be earned from CompTIA.
      
      
   3. Documentation of previous technical training experience. The following information is required:
      • A description of technical training courses conducted during the past 12 months, including vendor name, class dates and number of students per class.
      • A copy of the student evaluation forms from three (3) recent classes.
   
   
   4. WebSphere ECIS management may allow assessment of technical training skills by a WebSphere ECIS-certified instructor approved by WebSphere ECIS management. This option may require one or more coteaching assignments before the instructor becomes "certified to teach" this course.
      
      
When accepted by WebSphere ECIS management, the remaining steps may be completed.


2. Attend an Application Development V6 Instructor Enablement Session
   
   In an application development instructor enablement session, the instructor gains the knowledge and ability to teach these courses.
   
   
3. Pass an Application Development V6 Instructor Assessment Session
   
   Following enablement, instructor will need to attend an application development instructor assessment session and pass assessment by an IBM-certified instructor approved by WebSphere ECIS management.
   
   "Authorized to Teach" Status

4. Pass the Professional Certification Test
   
   To demonstrate technical depth and breadth, the instructor needs to pass either one of these two tests:
   
   Test 255, Developing with IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V6
