Become a Volunteer University Instructor

A crucial aspect of this new program is building our instructor corps to teach the new modules in our onsite or virtual-in-residence classes and our online self-paced modules. If you are interested in joining the team and helping to take CAP education and training into the future, please complete the application below.

Step 1: 

Complete the Volunteer University Instructor Application

Step 2: 

Once your application is approved by region and wing command, you will be enrolled in the VOLU Instructor Course in Absorb.  For more information or assistance, contact us at instructor@cap.gov

Step 3: 

After completing the online portion of the Instructor Course, you must participate in a virtual training session to be fully qualified as a Volunteer University assistant instructor or instructor.  Register for these sessions using the Absorb Learning Management System.

Once you have completed the virtual training session, you will receive your permissions as an instructor or assistant instructor. Questions?  Contact us at instructor@cap.gov
