Accredited Oral History Training (Bunbury Museum & Heritage Centre)

Who should attend?
Anyone interested in learning how to do professional oral history interviews.
Whether you are a complete novice or have many hours of oral history collecting
experience everyone is welcome. It is perfect for those wanting to gain an accredited
oral history qualification or take part in an oral history project or group.

The nationally accredited oral history training will be delivered over two days by
Dr Elaine Rabbitt, of Goolarri Media Enterprises (Registered Training Organisation
Number 51278) and Committee Member of Oral History Australia.
Elaine has developed the oral history training package for AHCILM404 Record and
document Community History, drawn from the wealth of oral history teaching materials

that are available in Australia and overseas.
Too busy to treat yourself to two days of oral history – think again?
This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the practicalities of oral history and
gain nationally recognised certification. This is a stepping stone for further learning
and possible employment opportunities.
The workshops are a mix of practical and theory. Students will learn how to use
professional recording equipment with a hands on approach and can bring their own
recording devices (or use those provided).
