The T3 course is for personnel who have already completed the PSP course and have been identified by their command or Fleet, Force, or SYSCOM Improvement Office (FIO) as candidates to become PSP instructors. Personnel registering for the T3 course should have experience participating in problem-solving efforts. T3 graduates will deliver PSP courses within their command, community, or geographical area.

• Completion of PSP.
• Participation in problem-solving efforts.

Once you’ve taken and passed the T3 course, you must co-facilitate or “teach-back” a PSP course alongside a certified PSP instructor. This teach-back must either be recorded or witnessed by a member of the OWA Education Division so the candidate’s performance can be reviewed. If the candidate’s performance is satisfactory, OWA Education Division personnel will certify that candidate as a PSP Instructor who can lead their own PSP courses.
