SUMMARY

OTA has developed this powerful new learning Program to train OT's to become confident Supervisors of others. If you are ready to take your career to a new level, consider undertaking this program. Gain the tools you need to be a competent and effective supervisor, supporting others and sharing your experience.

The OTA Supervision Program consists of six modules, each with their own set of learning objectives. Each module should take approximately 3 hours to complete, with an additional 2 hours of work per module required for workplace learning and assessment activities. 

The program must be completed within 12 weeks of commencement.

Each module has a set of specific learning objectives designed to deliver the program objectives. Together, the three learning domains covered – thinking, reflecting, and doing - offer rich and varied learning opportunities seeking to deepen your level of capacity far beyond what can be achieved from simply learning facts. Upon completion, you will be recognised with certification specifically developed for Australian health settings and delivered through best practice recommendations. 

Current financial members will also be eligible to progress to the OTA Endorsement Program. As a participant of this program, you will be encouraged to produce an endorsement portfolio evidencing your professional supervision learning journey and capabilities. Your portfolio will assist in preparing your application to a peer review panel, appointed by OTA, to assess your capabilities to be a Professional Supervisor. Successful assessment of your endorsement portfolio will allow you to gain endorsement as a Professional Supervisor by your member Association.
