Are your teachers REALLY making the most of this technology?
 
 The Empowered Approach:
 
The success of interactive whiteboards fundamentally hinges on how well they are used. As the largest Promethean training provider, Empowered Learning offers the most qualified trainers, who use practical examples and proven methods to ensure your school/business generates more out of its investment.
 
Our trainers are:
We offer training in four modes:
 
1. ActivInspire Professional Development (Free when you purchase from us):
 
Empowered Learning's dedicated training team provide educators with the necessary skills to effectively use ICT in the classroom. When you buy any hardware from our Promethean range - our training is FREE. Our motto is "Whatever you buy from us, we will Empower you to use" 
 
2. Half and full day ActivInspire courses, at your school:
 
Full day $849 and half day $549
The content and arrangement of this day would be negotiated between yourselves and our trainers.  For example you may want to work with a particular stage or faculty. You may want to divide your staff into different groups such as beginners, intermediate and advanced.  This arrangement is more flexible in terms of the number of people who could be accommodated, as well as the timing of the day. 
 
3. Online Courses:
 
$299 per person
Empowered Learning's Level 3 Accredited trainers offer an online Level 2 course similar to the Lesson Planning and Curriculum Integration course (see below). this is an ideal way for educators to complete 16 hours of pedagogical training at a pace determined by you. Your tutor will work with you, guiding you through the 8 modules. At the completion of the course, you will receive an official Promethean Level 2 Certificate.
