Course Content

This course contains both a classroom and practical component, as circumstances permit.

Should they be required, distance learning courses would be facilitated in real-time by a qualified AMTA instructor and participants access the course and materials via an online conferencing tool (presently, Microsoft Teams) using a computer or device equipped with sound and video (camera) capabilities.

During the COVID-19 response, Practical Assessments will be completed by video submission. Videos must be received within fourteen (14) days of the course. Notification must be sent to training@amta.ca and a link to upload the video will be sent to the participant subsequently.
