For a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus class, which issue would you normally be responsible for?

• A. Reviewing the lesson plan and assembling the instructional materials and equipment
• B. Determining the training schedule for the class
• C. Developing the training materials
• D. Writing the exam questions

Answer: (A)

The main task here is the instructor’s preparation for the session: reviewing the lesson plan to understand objectives, flow, and required resources, and then assembling all instructional materials and equipment needed to run the class. For an SCBA class, that means checking that you have the lesson content lined up, and gathering and setting up the actual gear and aids—SCBA units, masks, regulators, air cylinders, safety PPE, and any training props or handouts—so the class can proceed safely and smoothly. The other duties—scheduling the class, developing training materials, or writing exam questions—are usually handled by different roles such as a training coordinator, curriculum developer, or assessment designer.
