New, Easier Paths To Tutor Training and Certification
NTA offers the most economical and convenient choices anywhere for tutor training, assessment, and certification.  As an alternative to on-site training, the most efficient, effective method is "Tutoring Foundations," a self-paced, NTA supervised, mastery based training. The "Tutor Skills Test" assessment recognizes knowledge and experience through an essay examination. Both are delivered on-line and were developed by Crossroads of Learning, and approved by Fielding Graduate University and the NTA. Certification and CEUs are optional following completion of the program.

A Complete On-line Tutor Training Program
The "Tutoring Foundations" online training program is self-paced, self-scheduled, and estimated to require approximately 15 to 20 learner hours for each of the three modules, 45-60 hours for the comprehensive program. Learners may begin working minutes after on-line registration. Each learner is supervised by an NTA Master Tutor who reviews and responds to course work

Skills-based Certification Now Available Via Testing
The "Tutor Skills Test" may be taken at the Level I Basic, Intermediate or Advanced levels or as a Comprehensive battery. Registrants may begin the two hour time limit, essay question exam at any time. Tests are reviewed by NTA Master Tutors, and a summary evaluation is provided to employers with registrant approval.
