Introducing Helix Instruct Instructor Kits

Preparing to teach a certification course can require a significant amount of work before the first class even begins. Instructors may need to develop presentations, organize the course schedule, create assessments, plan classroom activities, and make sure the material adequately addresses certification objectives.

Helix Instruct Instructor Kits are designed to take much of that preparation off the instructor's plate.

Each kit provides a collection of ready-to-use teaching resources for a specific certification or technology course. Instead of building an entire course from the ground up, instructors have a foundation they can use, customize, and make their own.

Materials are provided in familiar formats such as Word, PowerPoint, and PDF, with editable resources that can be adapted to different audiences, schedules, and teaching approaches.

What's Inside an Instructor Kit?

Instructor Kits bring together the materials instructors need throughout the course, from initial planning through classroom delivery and learner assessment.

• Instructor Guide (.docx). A practical roadmap for delivering the course, including a session-by-session syllabus, learning outcomes, certification coverage, teaching notes, assignments, rubrics, answer keys, and discussion prompts.
• Presentation Decks (.pptx). Chapter- or module-based presentations featuring agendas, key concepts, speaker notes, summaries, and certification-focused guidance.
• Assessments (.docx). Resources for checking learner understanding throughout the course, including question banks, module quizzes, a diagnostic pretest, a full practice exam, and explanations for answers.
• Labs and Activities (.docx). Classroom exercises and scenarios supported by setup information, facilitation guidance, and answer keys.
• Lab Module Map (.pdf). A quick reference instructors can use to identify available lab modules, understand what each exercise covers, and see the skills learners will practice.

Know What You're Teaching and Why

Certification training is not simply about presenting technical information. Instructors also need to understand how individual lessons support the knowledge and skills learners are expected to demonstrate.

Instructor Kits help make those connections easier to see.

The included certification blueprint coverage matrix shows where certification domains and objectives are addressed throughout the course and how instructional time is distributed. Assessments also include answer explanations, giving instructors another opportunity to reinforce concepts during quizzes, reviews, and practice exams.

Start with a Course. Make It Your Own.

Instructor Kits are not intended to dictate exactly how an instructor should teach. They provide a strong starting point that can be adjusted to fit different training environments.

Independent trainers can use the materials to expand into new certification courses without first developing an entire curriculum. Training organizations can provide instructors with a common set of resources across different classes and cohorts. Colleges and academic programs can incorporate course plans, learning outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and assessments into their existing programs.

The kits can also support instructors at different experience levels. New instructors have structured teaching notes and speaker guidance to help them prepare, while experienced instructors can modify the editable resources to complement their own teaching style.

Put Preparation Time Back Where It Belongs

Developing slides, writing assessment questions, creating activities, and mapping content to certification objectives can consume hours of preparation time.

Instructor Kits give instructors those building blocks from the start.

That means more preparation time can be spent understanding the learners, refining the delivery, working through challenging concepts, and thinking about how to turn course content into skills students can apply.

Bring Hands-On Practice into the Course

Instructor Kits can also be paired with Helix Labs to add hands-on practice alongside classroom instruction.

The included Lab Module Map helps instructors identify exercises that complement the topics being taught and understand which practical skills learners will develop through each lab.
