Who teaches APT courses?
 
.................................................................................................................................................................

Our faculty members are psychologists who are fully registered with the college of psychologists in their province of residence. Faculty are selected according to their clinical experience, teaching skills and high commendations from qualified referees.

Once acceptes faculty, each psychologist has to maintain an average of 6 or higher on each of two 7-point scales; one on presentation-quality, the other on the relevance of the material to the delegates. Equally, every course has to d amaintain those averages, regardless of which faculty teach that course. Very infrequently courses may slip below this average and are then extensively revised or retired.

We don’t typically guarantee in advance who will teach a specific course for two reasons: First, logistically it would be quite difficult to do so. Second, the course content provides the substantive value of the courses that can be delivered with excellence by any of our highly qualified faculty.

For information on becoming an APT faculty member see opposite.

As an APT faculty member, you must complete a stringent application process and maintain excellent presentation ratings in all course evaluations. As such, to be an APT faculty member is a significant professional accolade. Other benefits include:

For faculty teaching outside of their employing organization:

•  Attractive daily compensation rates
•  for all workshops.
•  All travel, meal and accommodation
•  expenses.
•  Complete course materials including
•  power point presentations, notes,
•  delegate workbooks and evaluation
•  documents.
•  Opportunities for travel to teach
•  courses in your province and
•  across the country.
•  Opportunities to meet other
•  psychologists involved in training.
•  Opportunities to contribute to and be
•  an advocate for psychology and
•  quality mental health training.

For faculty teaching within their employing organization (taught during regular work hours):

•  Complete all course material
•  including power point presentations,
•  notes, delegate workbooks and
•  evaluation documents.
•  Honorarium.

To be invited to join our faculty you must have received strong references from two specified referees. The reference forms completed by referees are in-depth, objective and have demonstrated a strong correlation with course participant ratings of faculty. As a faculty member of APT, you may (in exchange for your employer paying the prevailing fee) run as many APT courses as you wish, within your own organization. Key points:

•  Your employer pays APT only 50%
•  of the standard course price,
•  although the training they receive
•  is identical. You therefore save your
•  employer 50% of the cost of the
•  course by teaching it during your
•  regular work time.

•  It enables you to build your way to
•  promotion to senior faculty. (This
•  requires an average of over 6 out of
•  7 on the course evaluation scales
•  over a minimum of 5 courses.
