What is an accreditation?

Accreditation is a quality assurance process that colleges, universities and educational institutions or programs undergo to confirm that they meet a strict and recognized set of service and operational standards. It is assessed by private, nongovernmental accrediting agencies that have been created specifically to review education institutions and programs. When an institution is properly accredited, you are able to gauge its overall quality without having to conduct a detailed analysis on your own.

Testimonial

What they say

My Post Graduate Diploma in Montessori Teaching has been an incredibly transformative experience, thanks to the exceptional support and guidance of my student coordinator, Ankita. The comprehensive curriculum and emphasis on the Montessori teacher's role as a facilitator and guide have enriched my understanding of child development and teaching practices. The course has equipped me with valuable skills to create inclusive learning environments and foster independence in students. I am grateful for the knowledge gained and highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to embark on a rewarding journey in Montessori education.

I learned alot about SEN students and I discovered a new area that I didn't know about before. The course helped me to understand their behavior more and work better on some sides to achieve better results.

ACHRAF BEN AYED

In taking this course, I have learnt many new and interesting methods surrounding teaching that I didn't previously know. I have grown as a teacher and seen my students perform at a higher level through facilitated learning as opposed to directed instruction.

SEAN MORRISSEY

China, Guangzhou

It is a very comprehensive and structured course, the teaching materials are simple enough that you can read on your own without a teacher. I will definitely be looking for other relevant and interesting courses from this establishment again in the near future. I will definitely recommend my friends to look into this courses available. Just wanted you guys to know you are doing a good job.

MA QIUXIA

China, Fujian

I think what I liked most about the course was that it helped me see the learning process from a learners perspective and learn to set student learning objectives. Before taking the TESOL course, I had nearly 8 years experience in teaching English as a foreign language, but while taking the course I realized that I used to set activity and involvement objectives rather than mastery/student learning objectives in my lesson plans. I was hesitant at the beginning, wondering if I would be able to go smoothly through all modules and phases; but as I started reading, analizing all contents and taking notes (of course also taking into consideration the suggestions made by my trainer after completing each assingment) I learned to prepare more student-centered, enjoyable and effective lessons. I tried to do my best and I felt satisfied with what I had managed at the end of the course. I learned details about planning for a learner-centered lesson, taught a learning-centered lesson and reflected on planning and teaching. All of them have changed my teaching style. I am more productive, creative and confident in teaching now. Overall, I found the experience valuable and absolutely worth my time. I would definitely recommend the course.

DISCLAIMER

Asian College of Teachers (ACT) undertakes a continuous review of its teacher training courses to ensure imparting high quality education. However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes. This approach ensures that the stakeholders make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
