Certification Training /
Audiblox in the Classroom

• Audiblox services may only be presented by Certified Audiblox Tutors. Tutors must be trained and declared competent by an Audiblox Master Trainer in order to become certified.
• Teachers who want to use Audiblox with two or more students at once may either attend a training course or use Schoolblox.

In order to present Audiblox classes as a fee-for-service, one needs to attend a training course. Teachers who want to use Audiblox in their classrooms may also attend a training course. Training courses are offered in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Sinapore and South Africa.

The duration of a training course is six days, from 8am - 4pm every day, usually from a Monday to a Saturday, but it may also be spread over six consecutive Saturdays, et cetera.

How does it work?

When conducting Audiblox classes as a service to schoolchildren, each group must receive a minimum of three lessons per week of one hour each. Up to 15 schoolchildren may be tutored simultaneously.

The classes are presented on three levels. New enrollees of all ages, excepting preschoolers, will start at Level 1. New learners can be incorporated into a Level 1 class at any time. There is no need to use a waiting list, or to start a new class to accommodate new learners. Once a leaner has achieved all the requirements for Level 1, he is promoted to Level 2. As soon as he has made sufficient progress on Level 2, he is promoted to Level 3.

The preschool program also operates on three levels. A minimum of three classes per week of 20-30 minutes each must be presented. Up to 10 preschool children may be tutored simultaneously.

In a formal school setting the whole class is usually taught simultaneously. The teacher will use the School program, which requires 30 minutes four or (preferably) five times per week. Less time is required for preschool children.

Objectives of the training course

The objectives of the training course are (1) to give an individual a thorough knowledge and understanding of the theory that underlies the Audiblox program and (2) to master the group application of the Audiblox program.

On completion of the course, provided that the objectives were met, course attendants are awarded a certificate.

Course materials

The course materials include the book The Right to Read, the Audiblox Training manual, a Persepto, a set of word cards, 10 learner sets, and 10 workbooks. The Persepto is a large, rectangular board, which the Audiblox Tutor puts on a table in front of the class. Each learner in the class needs a learner set and a workbook.

The learner sets are non-consumable, which means that an Audiblox Tutor can use the same learner sets for all her classes year after year. Workbooks are not used when Audiblox is presented to preschool children.
