Training

AMES provides an initial nationally accredited training course for volunteer tutors.  The course offered is TAADEL403A Facilitate Individual Learning which is one of the units of TAA4010A Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

The training is delivered at a variety of locations and times, day and evening to accommodate tutor availability.  It requires attendance at 6 sessions of 2.5 hours – usually once a week for 6 weeks.

To complete Assessment Tasks to achieve the accredited outcome is optional.  Assessment Tasks are fully explained during training and relate to work covered there as well as some of the tutoring experience.  Attendance at a 2 hour follow-up workshop is also required.

A comprehensive manual and tutoring resources are provided.

There is no charge for the training but it is expected that volunteers commit to on-going tutoring by visiting their student once a week.  The actual details of tutor/student match will be discussed with your local coordinator.

Workshops

Each term we arrange on-going support for tutors by providing a range of 2 hour workshops.  All tutors, experienced and new, are encouraged to attend to get new tutoring ideas and worksheets, learn about the culture and customs of our migrant families and share tutoring experiences with others.

You are welcome to attend at any location.  Please reply to secure a place.

Some downloadable resources and tutoring ideas are also available on ideas and worksheets.
