FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the TSATC FAMTP-II
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Transportation Security Administration Training Center, Federal Air Marshal Training Program – II (FAMTP – II) at the November 16, 2023, meeting.
The purpose of the FAMTP - II is to develop the basic law enforcement training FAM Candidates (F/C) received from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Federal Air Marshal Training Program – I, in an agency specific setting. FAMTP – II provides F/Cs training specific to transportation security, particularly the aviation domain, adapting physical skills such as firearms and defensive measures for safe application within the domain. The FAMTP – II is 43 instructional days and consists of 344 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 24.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, training organizations submit to an independent review of their program and/or academy to ensure compliance with the FLETA Standards and Procedures in the areas of Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, training organizations must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the program/academy.
