Upskill Course for Members
Whaiowhia te mātauranga – fill the basket of knowledge
Boost your teaching skills – take Upskill, our short online refresher course. Build online teaching skills, explore new teaching approaches, and learn the latest business guidelines. This standalone course will give you fresh perspectives and enhance your teaching. With flexible timeframes, Upskill is tailored to your individual needs and relevant to your chosen instrument.
Upskill involves self-directed distance learning plus one Contact Workshop. Upskill also gives IRMTNZ members the opportunity to present, facilitate or demonstrate at the Contact Workshop.
“…after the Course I think we all felt inspired, re-enthused and ready to put into practice the skills we had been given. Wendy’s enthusiasm and zest was so encouraging and even those of us who have been teaching for many years learnt new strategies and methods.”
“The Course content was well organised and focused on practical situations…I learnt different ways to engage with pupils and now have a whole kit of innovative materials to use!”
