Not sure how Hal's site would help someone find out about _becoming_ an instructor...
There are essentially 2 types of CF instructors. The Macromedia Certified Instructors (MCI) who teach Macromedia's curriculum (Fast Track To (Flash/ColdFusion/etc.) for instance) and unofficial instructors who provide their own curriculum which is I believe the category Hal falls into. I've been looking into becoming an instructor (either variety) for a while... Unfortunately what seems to be the case lately is that there is only one kind of instructor -- those who were instructors before the dot-com collapse. Since then with the industry hemhoraging, the subordinate training industry has been dying. Nobody's paying for IT like they did, so nobody wants to get into IT and as a result, there's little or no work for instructors. The exceptions are those like Hal who had existing training businesses which were popular enough to survive the recession. If you can find a Macromedia Training Partner (MATP) who is interested in hiring you as an instructor, then you can get the MCI certification once they hire you, though I've not had much luck with it myself. Not in recent months anyway. I'm hopeful that things will change and I'll be able to transition myself into being an instructor in the future, though as of now my efforts have been at a standstill for over a year.
