*This tutor training is not intended to take the place of training provided by colleges or organizations that already provide certification training for tutors. However, ATP online training workshops may contribute to a tutor's development and enhance such training if guided by the organization's tutor coordinator. For this reason, ATP encourages tutor coordinators to take ATP online training sessions along with their tutors-in-training.

Upon payment, participants will be registered into the workshop.
