Student Mentoring Programs
Earn CPDs for student mentoring
AUSactive has launched its new CPD recognition initiative for AUSactive Professionals who participate in Mentorship Programs delivered by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
A strong support base for students is essential for ensuring a safe practice environment and achieving positive skill development in readiness to commence a career in the health and fitness industry. At the same time, the process of delivering structured mentoring offers valuable career and professional development for the professional mentor.
Why should I become a mentor?
- For AUSactive Professionals, this initiative offers you:
- Recognition of your qualification and experience as a professional
- Opportunities for relationship development with local RTOs and the education sector
- The chance to ‘give back’ to the next generation of industry professionals
- The opportunity to diversify how you gain your CPDs for professional registration
How will I be recognised?
If you are a Level 2 or 3 AUSactive Professional, you’ll be eligible for Continuing Education Credits when you deliver a CPD approved student mentoring program through an RTO Mentorship program. Credits will be allocated as follows:
- 1 CPD per 2 hours of student mentoring.
- The maximum CPDs that can be earned in any given two year registration period is:
- Level 2 AUSactive Professionals | 10 CPDs
- Level 3 AUSactive Professionals | 16 CPDs
To receive CPD recognition as a mentor, you must:
- Hold a minimum Level 2 Professional Registration (the registration categories you hold must be relevant to the skills and knowledge you are teaching)
- Have a minimum of 2 years of experience in the field that you will be teaching
- Have documentation detailing your mentoring role as part of a CPD approved student mentoring program
Promote your program or event
Registered Training Organisations can apply here to have CPDs allocated to their Mentoring Programs.
