It's not difficult to become an Instructor. I think a reasonable strategy would be to contact an existing IBEP team - volunteer to help the team with class set up, registration, etc. You will then have a place to fit in, and also have someone to vouch for you.

Here in MD, our Dept of Nat Resources will conduct a criminal background check, put on a one day Instructor Course, and then expect you to teach with a team to maintain your credentials.
