The ESRI Authorized Training Program (ATP) uses this prequalification questionnaire to evaluate your qualifications for becoming an ESRI Authorized Instructor and determine if your skills match current market demands. You must prequalify before you may purchase an application to the ATP. On approval of the prequalification and after having taken the required coursework, an information package will be e-mailed to you with an order form for the official Instructor Application.

Policy note: You may not schedule any classes until after your authorization fee has been paid and you have received your executed agreements and instructor certificate. ESRI is not responsible for accommodating classes scheduled before you are fully authorized.
