The interviewer will ask this question if one of the job duties is to train others. It could be that your job would be to train coworkers, fire service members, or law enforcement officers. The interviewer wants to determine your experience and qualifications in a teaching capacity to see if you will be a good fit for their agency.

Focus on the number of years of experience you have training others and in what capacity. Explain if you have trained and mentored new investigators, taught at the college level, provided continuing education training, or trained law enforcement or fire service members.

This question applies to training others while working as an Arson Investigator. Avoid describing training others in a different capacity unless you are a new Arson Investigator with no prior experience. If that is the case, you can use an experience where you trained others as a coach, a tutor, or new employees at a previous job.

"I have worked as an Arson Investigator for the past fifteen years and have mentored newly hired investigators, fire science students at a community college, and firefighters at their fire academies. I feel confident in my teaching capabilities and look forward to bringing those skills to your department."
