Get Certified & Advance Your Tutoring Center

A tutoring program is only as good as its tutors and tutors are only as good as their tutor trainer!

The Tutor Trainer Certification

The Tutor Certification program is designed for higher education professionals, including directors and coordinators who oversee tutor training.

This certification can be obtained during ACTP's annual conference, which focuses on equipping tutor trainers—with the skills needed to create effective learning environments.

How to Earn a Tutor Coordinator Certification

The Tutor Trainer Certification can be obtained during ACTP's annual conference, which aims to equip tutor trainers with the skills necessary to create effective learning environments. To earn the certification, participation in a full-day pre-conference workshop is required, along with a follow-up application session that leads into the certification ceremony.

What happens after Tutor Trainer Certification is received

After the ACTP conference, all certified tutor trainers can certify individual tutors at their home institution after completing their first full training program, which meets the minimum required hours and topics.
