Certified Advanced Practitioner Training 2020

There are many reasons to invest in your training and professional development. Upskilling and keeping up with the latest trends and industry changes are high on the list but considering new or alternative methods can also lead to greater efficiency and reduced work burdens. Educate Plus Certified Advancement Training Courses are ‘advancement-focussed’ and are developed with relevance and convenience in mind. The training programs are delivered by and grounded in the day-to-day practice of advancement professionals and our Industry Experts who have a real understanding of what staff need in their roles.

Our vision is to improve the capabilities of participants by providing courses that have an immediate positive impact on their working lives. through engaging and relevant content with maximum value in a short timeframe.

‘Brilliant! Real life presenters who currently work in the sector who added an invaluable array of information and experiences. So many options to take back to my team for consideration. I would highly recommend this course.’ Megan Henriksen – 2018 Participant

Our courses cater for those new to the education sector and those already experienced employees who need information and skills to support their growth and gain more advanced knowledge. Educate Plus provides training that is current and relevant, incorporating leading practice across our four key Advancement pillars:
+ Admissions
+ Fundraising
+ Alumni & Community Relations
+ Marketing & Communications.

The course learning materials are rich with case study scenarios, checklists and sample forms. In 2018 we introduced a new learning management system (LMS) which improved the learning experience for our 75 participants. All of us are time poor, so this course work is designed to be completed and submitted online with an on-line discussion forum so participants can get to know their classmates in advance of the face to face training.

Based on feedback from our students the content and structure of our 2020 courses has been further improved to reflect learning needs and requirements through more workshop and adult learning techniques such as peer-to-peer round table discussions. In addition, a new educational marketing resource, with an Australian focus has been specifically developed for this course. Besides improving everyday skills and knowledge, participating in the Advancement training allows for valuable networking and building of relationships with other like-minded professionals. These collaborations help to improve the learning experience. Through workshops and question and answer sessions our participants can connect, engage and discuss important problems of practice and share solutions. This networking strategy can lead you to individuals who are ready and willing to help. Also connecting with industry peers and leaders can provide unique growth and learning opportunities for participants.

Educate Plus is keen to offer this experience as part of its service delivery by bringing together diverse professionals and connecting them with each other in-person and online through the learning management system. In our experience participants offer insights based on their own experiences, discuss professional challenges and offer encouragement and support, as well as professional expertise.
