Organization

The Interagency Training Center (ITC) is a community resource established in 1968 to provide training in Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) to members of the defense, intelligence, and foreign affairs communities and to selected government agencies; to promulgate research, engineering, and operations within the TSCM community; and to support national TSCM programs. ITC sponsoring organizations govern the ITC and provide the ranks of its instructor staff.ITC instructors possess extensive TSCM field experience within their respective agencies and bring unique, real-world insight to the courses they teach. All instructors have prior teaching experience with their parent agencies, and/or receive additional training through the National Cryptologic Schools' Cryptologic Instructor courses. Because of rapidly evolving communications technology, ITC courses are internally reviewed and updated after each running. Sponsoring agencies review courses regularly and provide input through several working groups, and the Interagency Training Center Advisory Board.The ITC has committed itself to quality training. In June 2001, the ITC was formally accepted as a Candidate for Accreditation with the Council on Occupational Education and aims to achieve full accreditation in February 2002.Organization contact: Mr. John Bilton, Registrar, Interagency Training Center, 10530 Riverview Road, Ft.
