Confidently into the tutorial: Subject-specific support, learning guidance, representation of one's own subject – tutors have multifaceted tasks in supporting courses. To help them prepare for this, the ZQS/Key Competencies offers special training courses and personal consultation hours – which are also conducted by peer tutors.
In addition, we train peer tutors who work as advisors at ZQS/Key Competencies.
We support you in feeling more confident when presenting to groups, finding solutions to difficult situations, and actively involving and motivating your group. To this end, we offer consultation hours for personal exchange and feedback, as well as regular training sessions and an e-learning unit for self-study.
In addition to these offerings, we provide subject-specific training courses in cooperation with your department. For more information, please see ‘Information for Teachers’. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The following illustration shows the training phases for peer tutors. The training usually lasts one semester, but throughout the entire period of activity in the ZQS/Key Competencies, actions in consultations and workshops are accompanied and reflected upon.
The first block covers general theoretical and practical basics on peer learning and counselling. Alongside this, or before the training starts, there are seminars on the basics of counselling and learning together as equals.
The second block covers area-specific topics and strategies and is highly practice-oriented. At the same time, peer tutors observe events or counselling sessions to gain initial practical experience. In later practice, tutors continue to be supported through regular exchanges and learning processes.
