Tutoring Certifications

The ACTP offers two tutoring certification tracks, one for Tutor Trainers and one for Tutors.

Tutor Trainer Certification

Tutor Trainer Certification is obtained onsite at our annual conference.

Who can obtain Tutor Trainer Certification

The training is intended for professionals in higher education serving as tutor trainers (directors, coordinators, supervisors, etc.)

Certification requires participation in a full-day pre-conference workshop held on the Sunday before the conference begins. A follow-up session on Tuesday is also required and serves as the certification award ceremony
