Tutoring & Essential Skills Upgrading
For clients who achieve lower-than-acceptable scores on the TOWES, BC AMTA has created a combination of options for tutoring and Essential Skills Upgrading (ESU) which has helped clients increase their skill levels to a passing, or higher score on the TOWES. We have developed a network of qualified teachers who provide the tutoring and we are working in concert with Thompson Rivers University (TRU) to ensure our candidates are supported through ESU with Aboriginal instructors in a comfortable, inclusive environment.
