Every teacher wishing to teach the curriculum of the "Fishing in Schools" program must be certified by an NFSP Certified Teacher Trainer or Educator. A teacher may take the training at any scheduled workshop in advance of his/her school/institution committing to the program. These one day sessions are scheduled from time-to-time and are held in a variety of locations. The cost is $50 per person (credited against the cost of the program once acquired.) To sign up for a session, please fill out and submit the registration form below. The NFSP CAST Online Training platform is an option for anyone who wishes to be trained via the internet. This easy-to-use system offers the convenience of taking the course where and when it is most suitable to the user. Current NFSP Personal Teacher Training

"Hey. I just wanted to let you know that
we received the NFSP Curriculum Kit. I was so
excited, so of course I had to get it all out this
morning. I was like a kid on Christmas. Also I
wanted to say that I am very impressed with the
quality of the whole kit- targets, rod, reels,
storage, etc. I am so thankful to receive
assistance with this and look forward to
implementing it with our students/school. They are
going to love it. Thanks again for all that
you do,"
"Katie,
the
post-training survey did not quite cover enough
about what a fantastic job you did for us in Reno on
January 7. You are truly a great and I would feel
personally insulted if you came to our area again
and did not let me know so that we could get
together for lunch/dinner, wet a line, etc... This is a tremendous sportfishing area and there should be opportunity for NFSP to shine. I do hope so! Our conversation was warm, welcome, and informative.Thank you (if for nothing else, helping to clean up my unsatisfactory casting stroke). "CK Baily , Carson High SchoolCarson, Nevada
"All done. Online certification worked very nicely and didn't have any issues. I'll be in touch to order more flies and maybe another banner or two. Otherwise I believe I'm set in terms of my requirements to teach. Thanks for the communication along the way. Can't wait to run the unit."
