Why is it so expensive to become a Makaton tutor/trainer?
There are several levels of Makaton tutor training. There is training to become a Makaton Regional Tutor. Passing the course licenses you to deliver all the Makaton workshops across all disciplines and all areas of disability. Then there is the training to become a Makaton Local Tutor, which enables you to provide some of the Makaton workshops within your work environment only. In each case, the training is in two parts and is intensive. So whilst it seems expensive, tutors report back to us that it was value for money and equipped them for the many challenges that face them once they are having to carry out this role. For those with a learning disability, training to be a Makaton Peer Tutor enables you to provide help and support for your peers, as well as working with your Local or Regional Tutor to train professionals, parents and carers.
