What is the training?
A. We put you through a TAFE accredited module called “Mentoring Your Colleagues” at no cost to you. It runs over four consecutive Wednesdays and is held four times a year. By successfully completing the four sessions you are considered “trained” by Mentor-One and can start as a mentor straight away. If you would also like to have the TAFE recognition, then there is an assignment and journal that need to be completed to their standards. It is a nationally recognised module and will count as a credit or RPL if you go onto further training. This entire process is free. Buddy training is available to those who join the program when the TAFE training has just finished or is too far away. It involves an onsite induction followed by four weekly sessions with experienced mentors who can answer all your questions. Even if you start by doing buddy training, you must do the TAFE training when it comes up.
