Workforce development — facilitator certification
The CEF program is a cohort-based training and certification pathway that equips teachers, librarians and community facilitators with the skills to deliver accessible, evidence-informed learning using EduLinked methods and materials.
Designed for practical classroom and community use, the program includes hands-on practice, assessment, accessible resources and post-certification peer support so organisations can scale facilitation capability across sites.

Introduction
The CEF program builds practical skills to deliver accessible learning using EduLinked methods and assets. It focuses on classroom- and community-ready facilitation: inclusive pedagogy, accessible media, verification for reporting, and adaptive assessment strategies that work across diverse settings.
Participants complete practical tasks, co-facilitation sessions and an assessment portfolio that demonstrates competence. Successful candidates receive a Certified EduLinked Facilitator credential and access to alumni resources and refresher modules.
What we deliver
The CEF curriculum balances theory and practice so facilitators graduate ready to lead accessible learning in real contexts.
Core modules
Inclusive pedagogy, accessible design for learning, symbol-supported materials, Auslan-aware facilitation and accessible assessment practices.
Practical assessment
Observed co-facilitation, portfolio of practice and a short applied assessment demonstrating facilitation competence and accessible delivery.
Trainer resources
Facilitator guides, session plans, accessible handouts and assessor rubrics to maintain quality across cohorts.
Alumni & refresher
Cohort alumni network, peer learning sessions and annual refreshers to sustain capability and share practice.
How it works
Typical cohort timeline
Weeks 0–2: onboarding & remote pre-work.
Weeks 3–6: blended workshops and co-facilitation slots.
Weeks 7–10: portfolio submission, assessment and credential award.
Who it’s for
Outcomes include improved facilitator confidence, reduced preparation time, consistent use of accessible variants, and evidence-backed facilitation outputs that support funding and procurement needs. Evaluation uses observed practice, participant feedback and verification outputs.
The Certified EduLinked Facilitator program teaches people how to run learning that everyone can join. You learn practical ways to make lessons accessible, practise with a coach, show what you can do and get a certificate.
