Training dates

 

If you’d like to teach ethics and volunteer at a school near you, please apply at primaryethics.com.au/volunteer. You’ll need a minimum of 2-3 weeks to complete recruitment, background checks and background training. You’ll then be able to attend one of our free training sessions, either face to face or online, subject to a place being available.

‘Excellent program. I have been working in tertiary education over the past year and I think this was some of the best training in facilitating small group learning I have received’
