SCCD Training Arvostelua 

I'm doubting the legitimacy of this company despite the positive reviews.
First of all, whenever I visit their website, my antivirus prevents me from viewing the page due to a virus. It's been like this for over a year.
Secondly, I managed to get contact details (WhatsApp and email). I WhatsApped them (09/08/2023), no response. I emailed and someone responded. When I messaged him back no response (11/08/2023 - I can't put this date in as my date of experience as it's over a year ago). I messaged again on 02/05/2024, no response.
I still need a placement and have no idea how else to get one.
Terrible experience!
Edit: My review is not fake, why would I lie? I even wrote the name of the person I emailed but they complained so I had to remove it. Why not make things right instead of falsely claiming that my review is fake?

I did my SEN Specialist Course with the SCCD at Elephant & Castle in 2014. They supported me a lot when my cousin unexpectedly died whilst I was training. Unfortunately I wasn't able to collect my certificate and folders due to cancer. I keep asking but haven't been given it. Please can you send me my certificate.

I am thrilled to share that I have just received my DET certificate and am overjoyed with this achievement. My experience with SCCD has been exceptional from start to finish. The institute is highly supportive and committed to ensuring that each candidate meets their goals and requirements with utmost efficiency.
The level of support provided by SCCD is truly commendable. Especially Mrs Alexis (Shaaira Alexis) who guided me throughout the training, went above and beyond to assist. Her dedication, including working during weekends and summer holidays, was instrumental in my success. The lecturers are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in their students' progress.
Mrs Alexis’ commitment to her students is truly remarkable. She consistently made herself available, offering invaluable advice and guidance whenever it was needed. Her encouragement helped me stay motivated, and her depth of knowledge was key to my understanding of complex topics. Mrs Alexis’ tireless support and genuine care for her students’ success make her an invaluable asset to SCCD, and I am incredibly grateful to have had her as a mentor.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to Kadesha, the receptionist at SCCD, whose professionalism and warmth made a significant impact throughout my journey. From the very first day, Kadesha was incredibly welcoming and always available to assist with any administrative queries I had. Her efficiency in handling course-related matters and her friendly demeanor made the process smooth and stress-free. Whether it was answering questions, providing guidance on paperwork, or simply offering a kind word of encouragement, Kadesha was a constant source of support and positivity, adding to the overall exceptional experience at SCCD.
The course itself was comprehensive, offering a perfect balance of theory and practical application. The resources provided were always up to date, and the learning materials were clear and accessible. SCCD’s approach to teaching, combined with its practical assessments, prepared me well for the next steps in my professional journey. The blend of interactive lessons and real-world applications ensured that I was fully equipped with the skills needed to excel in my field.
I wholeheartedly recommend SCCD for anyone pursuing QTLS. The institute's dedication to excellence and the personalised support offered by their staff make it an outstanding choice for professional development. My positive experience is a testament to their commitment to providing high-quality education and training.

I completed DET in SCCD in the year 2015. It was tough because I had to travel from Slough to Elephant and Castle where it was then located. Mrs Shaaira was also teaching and the head. She helped us a lot and made sure that all the required assignments, teaching experience evidence and mock teaching evidence were properly documented in two big red folders. I still have them with me and it creates lot of nostalgic memories. I feel proud to have completed the course and acquire the diploma in a year. Thanks Shaaira and her wonderful team.

I had an amazing experience at SCCD Training.
The lectures are very informative and all the staff goes above and beyond to help everyone.
I loved doing my training with them and would definitely recommend everyone to train to become a teacher with them.

This is a good training centre. I have learned many things .My experience was good .I highly recommend this training centre to every one . I m feeling very confident and positive . I hope for the best and I feel I will succeed in my career.

I recently attended my first placement day as a teacher assistant in a primary school, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the educational environment.

The school staff were welcoming and supportive, making me feel comfortable right from the beginning. The orientation provided a clear understanding of my responsibilities, and I appreciate the effort the team put into ensuring a seamless onboarding process.

Throughout the day, I had the chance to observe and actively participate in various classroom activities. The teacher I was assisting was not only knowledgeable but also encouraging, allowing me to gain valuable insights into effective teaching methods.

I was particularly impressed by the positive and inclusive atmosphere within the school. The students were engaged, and the overall learning environment was conducive to their growth and development.

Overall, my first placement day was a positive and enriching experience. I am eager to continue my journey as a teacher assistant and look forward to further opportunities for hands-on learning. Kudos to the school and the course for providing such a well-organized and supportive placement experience.

The school is a state-of-the-art facility with modern architecture, spacious classrooms, and cutting-edge technology. The building is spotlessly clean, with gleaming floors and walls that reflect the natural light pouring in from the large windows. The classrooms are thoughtfully designed, with ergonomic furniture and equipment that cater to the needs of each student. The staff is equally impressive, greeting students with warm smiles and providing guidance and support whenever needed. They are knowledgeable and experienced in their respective fields and eager to share their expertise with their students. Overall, the school is an oasis of learning that inspires and motivates students to reach their full potential.

What made my experience great at Lea Valley Primary school is how welcoming the member of staff are. Every single of member of staff that I have encountered today was so approachable and helpful. The teachers there are patient and genuienly care about including all children in participating in activities. Overall great school.

The Diploma level 3 in Supporting Teaching and Learning is very complete. It does provide a deep understanding of what becoming a teaching assistant means. My assessor was incredible. She laid out the assignments in a very clear way. She was available to answer all my question. Her feedback was constructive and motivated me to complete my course.

Had an amazing time and experience with SCCD learning as well as becoming a teaching assistant. The course was a bit difficult as it started during the COVID period and die to personal situation however my lecture Paulina and the other internal staff members were extremely helpful and supportive.

My placement went really well and the school I did it with were super with completing my placement documents.

Would definitely recommend if your thinking about teaching assistant or working with SEN students.

My SCCD journey started since I got pregnant with my second child. Dealing with a complicated pregnancy while managing a toddler at home made me so exhausted that I often thought of quitting. Luckily, I have had the best lecturer who never hesitated to extend support and always encouraged me to move ahead. With special support sessions and continuous support from her I am now able to make to placement phase of my training. I cannot believe myself that with all those difficulties in my life I am soon going to complete my course. This has been an amazing journey of my life that I will always remember.

lectures were informative and well structured

My experience studying with SCCD to date, has been rewarding, great and like an unforgettable journey that resonates enthusiasm and resilience for me on a daily basis.

The lecturers are competent and they explain all concepts very well and clearly, and it is alright for me to say boldly that the Diploma in Education and Training Level 5 course that I studied, though challenging, is worth every moment.

Not forgetting the time I spent during my internal placement, which for certain is informative and of relevance to my professional development, as I have learnt a lot.

Thank you for a great course, great presentations with lots of opportunities to ask questions and talk about real life examples, and the explanation of theories, which all made for a really enjoyable and informative course.

It has more than met my expectations both personally and professionally and would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a professional career in teaching.

Staff are nice and helpful, especially the lecturers. Whenever I need support or advice, I can get contact with and give feedback from them. Their lessons are well prepared and easy to follow with clear instructions. I am doing my second course with them and I am happy to join other courses with them in future.

I got full support to my study at SCCD Training. They give me a reference details for my job opportunity. My teacher give me a one to one support to understand my assignment. I highly recommended SCCD to everyone .

My experience has been great because I have been able to gain a job through my work placement interview. All thanks to our work placement coordinator, kristina, lecturers both past and present(Mr Paul Calgrove and Ms Shaaira Alexis) and everyone that works in SCCD Training Centre.

It's been a very long journey, finding the right teacher training route to be able to train to become a teacher. SCCD Training centre has made it possible for anyone especially mothers, and those working full time or part-time work that you can become whatever you want to be if you believe you can do it.

I will definitely recommend SCCD Training Centre to anyone that wants to train to become a teacher either in primary school, secondary school, sixth form and any other educational settings .I am very grateful and thankful to every member of staff at SCCD Training Centre and I look forward to completing my course , become fully qualified and continue to make a difference in the community.

Training at SCCD has equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to become a teacher. I am particularly grateful for the understanding shown by my lecturer, Paul Colgrave and other staff members, who supported as well as encouraged me to forge ahead to achieve my qualification, when I felt like giving up. My sincere appreciation goes to Ms Alexis, who ensured that learners concerns were appropriately addressed and supported. Thank you SCCD for all you do.
