That ICPA (Aust) advocates to the Federal Government and relevant ministers to support the inclusion and availability of ‘Certificate IV in School Based Education Support’ in all tertiary institutions across all States and Territories in Australia to assist geographically isolated distance education Home Tutors.
NT ICPA have been working in conjunction with Charles Darwin University to write and deliver a new course; a Certificate IV in School Based Education Support (course code CHC40221).
This ensures that Home Tutors/parents who are employed to teach our children that are enrolled and studying in schools of distance education can obtain formal recognition for the outcomes they achieve in delivery of lessons in these remote school rooms.
The Alice Springs ICPA Branch would like to see all states and territory ICPA branches support the National roll-out of this Tertiary Course as it provides pathways for Home Tutors to live and be employed in remote Australia while studying and working towards obtaining a Certificate IV in School Based Education Support.
This new course that is being delivered via Charles Darwin University equates to 40 credits towards a degree in Education. People that are partaking in this current trial of the course, will have formal recognition of the role they fulfil as a Home Tutor when they finish employment at the end of the school year.
