About The CRLA International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC)
 

History

Since March 1989, community college, college and university tutorial programs in the United States and Canada have received tutor training program certification through CRLA's International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC). There are over 1100 programs which are currently certified through ITTPC.

The College Reading & Learning Association is a group of student-oriented professionals active in the fields of reading, learning assistance, developmental education, tutoring, and mentoring at the college/adult level. 

Purpose

The purpose of the ITTPC program is twofold. First, it provides recognition and positive reinforcement for tutors' successful work from an international organization. Second, CRLA's tutor certification process sets an internationally accepted standard of skills and training for tutors.


Why does the ASTC train tutors?

The Academic Success and Tutoring Center (ASTC) requires peer tutors to participate in a semester long training program, in accordance with the qualifications set forth by the College Reading and Learning Association’s International Tutor Training Program Certification. The ASTC training program focuses on the skills and knowledge that are vital to becoming a successful tutor. By participating in the ASTC’s tutor training program, a tutor can successfully communicate ideas and concepts, further the learning process, and encourage critical thinking to a diverse group of learners with different skills and abilities.
