Can you please provide more details around mentoring as a pre-requisite for each of the CanTRA certification levels?
It is important to work with someone at a higher level of certification that the one you are taking. If you are taking your CTRAI or CTRII examination, your mentor should be a CTRI, CanTRA Coach or Examiner. When candidate instructors live in remote areas or for some reason do not have acess to this kind of help. the following are options: • Videotape your teaching and submit this to the CanTRA office. this will be reviewed by a CanTRA Examiner with feedback given (there is a cost attached to this depending on the time needed). • CanTRA has volunteer training tapes available to assist you. • Home Study Books are also available which can be submitted for marking and feedback by a CanTRA Examiner. • You can make arrangements to visit a CanTRA centre with a CTRI, Coach or Examiner and do some mentoring hours at this centre.
