Why not train as a tutor?

If you have completed an Expert Patients Programme Community Interest Company (EPP CIC) self-management course and would like to train to become an accredited tutor then the first step is to complete an application form.

If your application is successful you will be asked to attend an interview (you will also need enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) clearance).

Training

Successful applicants will then:

• complete four days of tutor training
• be supported to deliver self-management courses in the community
• have two assessments which if successful will lead to accreditation.

Open College Network accreditation

EPP CIC has received Level 3 accreditation from the Open College Network (Credit for Learning) for course delivery - the equivalent of A or AS level standard. It means that once tutors receive training, mentoring and feedback from their first two successful courses they are entitled if they wish to receive Level 3 learning credits – potentially a major advantage for people with little formal education.
