Become an APT Tutor
To be an APT tutor is a significant professional accolade in that to achieve this status you must have received satisfactory references from two specified referees. The references are very searching, requiring the referee to (a) award the applicant a mark out of 10 on each of 9 key scales and (b) specify a level of confidence in each of those ratings. Referees are invariably impressed by the inability to ‘fudge the issue’ when completing this form.
As a tutor, you may:
1. (Subject to the provisions below) run as many APT courses as you wish, within your own organization.
Key points:
• Your employer pays APT only half of the standard course price, although what they
receive is identical. You therefore save your employer half the cost of the course by
tutoring it in your work time.
• Enables you to build your way to promotion to senior tutor. (This requires an average
of 6.x on the evaluation scales, over at least 5 courses.)
2. You may be invited by APT to run courses outside your own organization.
Key points:
• APT pays you a consultant’s fee at the prevailing rate for this.
• You are not obliged to accept an invitation to tutor outside your organisation, but
running courses does enable you to build your way to promotion to senior tutor.
• Whether you are invited to tutor outside your organisation depends on (a) the demand
for courses, (b) your average evaluations on courses you have run and (c) your
seniority – how long you have been a tutor for.
In return there are certain obligations, principally:
1. To maintain the highest standards of teaching and general behaviour while
representing APT.
2. To act as an advocate for APT training in the interests of everyone concerned.
