ATF Adjunct Instructor Data Form

An Adjunct Instructor is anyone who is not an ATF employee and provides unpaid instructor services for the Office of Training and Professional
Development (TPD). Adjunction Instructors may be anyone from another Federal agency, military, State or local government, educational institution,
trade organization, or a subject matter expert that is not being compensated through contract. All Adjunct Instructors utilized by the Office of Training
and Professional Development (TPD) must complete and forward this application through the TPD Branch/Division Chief responsible for the training.
In order to be accepted, the Hold Harmless Agreement on the data form must be signed by the adjunct instructor being considered.
TPD Branch/Division Chiefs will be responsible for determining if the instructor applicant is qualified for use within their programs before forwarding
the application. Once signed, the adjunct instructor data form is to be forwarded to the Chief, Learning Management Branch for review and processing. For questions, contact the Learning Management Branch (202) 648-8386.
Note: If instructors are providing services through an individual contract instrument such as a blanket purchase agreement or a sole source contract,
then their professional inforamtion has already been provided through their proposal and this form does not need to be completed. However, if
instructor services are being provided through a company contract that does not specifically provide expertise information of individual instructors for
TPD approval or if contract instructors are being acquired through a small purchase order, then this form must be completed for each instructor used in
training.
