Professional_Development

MTA now provides quality professional development seminars, workshops and courses across all key learning areas for the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary education sectors through the newly established MTA Professional Learning & Development division.

As an educational resource supplier to the schools and early childhood sector for the past 50+ years, Modern Teaching Aids has grown and evolved in response to its customer’s needs and requirements. A company built on the commitment to the teaching profession, MTA has always been dedicated to the ethos of "Building Knowledge". To further support that foundation, the MTA Professional Learning & Development division was established.

In 2010 MTA became a newly appointed Registered Training Organisation, allowing the company to provide nationally recognised courses in the areas of cognitive development, language and communication development and aesthetic and creative development in the Early Childhood years.

Our engaging and highly qualified professional development presenters aim to ensure each participant who attends our professional learning seminars are engaged and inspired through learning!
