SCCD Training Arvostelua 

I joined SCCD in Dec 2016.The best thing about SCCD was my lecturer, Paul Colgrave. And the worst was the head of the program, Ms Alexis. Paul is an amazing teacher. He stood by my side throughout my journey and was always there when I needed him. He is the reason why I didn't give up and got my diploma. Around July 2017, almost 7 months into the course, and after completing units 18, 21, and almost 34, we were told that we have been doing it all wrong. Becuase Ms Alexis didn't bother to review our assignmnets before, which was her job. Anyway, this caused a huge issue for us and we felt very demotivated and discouraged to the level where some of the students left the course in the middle because it was becoming too much for them. But rest of us continued, thanks to Paul. The administration at SCCD is also very supportive. My placement coordinator at the time was Emily and she was amazing. She helped me find a school nearby and I learnt so much from my placement. Paul was approachable and accomodating during my placement and always made time to review my work place evidence. I took longer than expected to complete my portfolio because I had to take a break and had to reregister at one point because of my personal issues. But never had any issues in approaching him. On the other hand, Ms Alexis never disappointment in showing her rude behaviour. I always found her tune very demeaning and attitude very harsh. Still I don't regret joining SCCD because DET is a professional qualification and no place is perfect. What matters in the end is that I got my diploma and the person I had to deal with the most was an amazing teacher and mentor

Nice staff at sccd, good in giving attention. My lecture Paul a very strong man and good in giving out details. He takes time to explain to make sure you understand the issue

I had joined SCCD with the objective of getting my level 3 Diploma as a Teaching assistant which I have now. The pandemic did cause some interruptions but finally with the help and correct guidance of my lecturer Paulina I made it. I did manage to arrange for my own placement so can't say how SCCD is in that.

I had a really bad learner experience with this company. They are the worst company ever. Do not trust them. I do not recommend this company to anyone.

I was slightly anxious and unsure of how my teacher training experience was going to be at the beginning of the year, but SCCD training has worked vigorously to make sure that students still got the most out of the course. The lectures have been engaging and I quickly managed to get to grips with online learning. At first, I was a little worried about using Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google classroom and interacting with the group online, but lectures were well planned, and everything was easily accessible.
SCCD training guided us through the year by being very responsive to emails and sending regular updates and information to support us through the ongoing uncertainty, which in turn meant that my initial teacher placement was able to go ahead with relative ease.
The fact I was able to progress with my placement experience is something I’m extremely grateful for. It’s been fantastic, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve been able to go to school every day and the safety measures put in place by the school ensured that teaching could operate as normally as possible. I don’t feel as though I’ve missed out, as I have still been able to teach according to the PGCE programme guidance. If anything, I feel like I have benefitted more from being able to experience both classroom based and remote teaching.
The remote teaching side of things has helped me become more adaptable and to face any future challenges head-on. I used technology that I hadn’t used before and so gained confidence in IT. I was also involved in researching engaging and motivating content, which is particularly important for children learning remotely, and was something I might not have otherwise had the opportunity to do.
Working with teenager meant that I had to ensure the learning instructions and language were accessible for parents and guardians, as they are often the ones supporting their child through the tasks online. I was not only giving feedback to children but also responding daily to the feedback of parents and carers about how the children had engaged in an activity. This was valuable for the assessment process and used to plan further activities.
At times I was teaching partly in the classroom and partly remotely, and this helped me to strengthen my time management skills, IT skills. This could be challenging – as I needed to ensure that lesson planning, marking, feedback and assessment were all up to date for both groups KS4/5 – but it was also highly rewarding to see student learn during this challenging time. Whilst doing the teacher training course, I met many other learners on the same path as me and sharing our experiences was a great support to keep focus. I found our lectures pleasant, and the tutors were able enhanced our skills and knowledge, giving us the confidence and guidance to complete our placements during the pandemic.
I’ve really enjoyed my teacher training in my placement, especially watching pupil learn and progress while also gaining confidence and developing as a teacher myself. The lecturers ensured that the programme was enjoyable and engaging despite the challenges that we faced during COVID 19. The course pushes you to develop, not only as a teacher but also in terms of your broader skills. Having to balance school-based training with lectures and assignments is demanding, but so worthwhile, especially when you meet your end goal and gain QTLS! It was one of the most rewarding, challenging and also year of my life, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. You need to push yourself, challenge yourself as this course is not for the light hearted!

I have been on the journey with SCCD TRAINING for my level 5 in Teaching.

The journey was very challenging due to the pandemic, at one point I wanted to give up because I was getting frustrated and stressed.

However the staff at SCCD are one of the best in the business.

Why?

Not only did they go beyond for all learners but they put themselves and family last in trying to support us.

I am so grateful for all the support I have been given due to the fact I wanted to quit but my tutor said to me to stopped and think positive and look how far you have come I won't let you.

I was touch from those words. I am almost there on the finishing line.

I definitely recommended SCCD brilliant and supportive staff.

Thank you.

Completing my teaching qualification with SCCD alongside work was challenging but anything worth doing requires commitment and hard work and thanks to SCCD they made it affordably possible. My lecturer was extremely helpful, pushing me to excel and ensuring I maintained high standards in my teaching and learning at all times. The course had provided me with a wealth of knowledge and skills that has ensured I became an effective and efficient teacher.

SCCD is an excellent place for people who want to become a qualified teacher in the UK. This organisation gives a good level of support and helps their learners to achieve high standards of work. Staff is really cooperative and worked with us throughout the COVID lockdown time. Helped me to get placement even during COVID lockdown.

SCCD is an excellent place for people who want to become a qualified teacher in the UK. This organisation gives a good level of support and demands effort of their learners to achieve high standards of work.

I would recommend to train with SCCD; I have been able to complete my TA level 3 course successfully. I have had an enjoyable experience at the school, where SCCD placed me, and I learnt valuable skills to support children’s learning.

I studied for a teaching qualification at SCCD and with the support and guidance of my tutors I was able to successfully complete the course. The programme gave me new knowledge, skills and experience, which has enhanced my professional development.

SCCD is an amazing school since it provides you with brilliant education and also useful knowledge that will be needed later on. I have also learnt much more life skills and have enjoyed my time in the course. Also I have appreciated all the support that our teacher Paulina given us throughout the course. I definitely recommend SCCD since it provides you with good education.

I have had good support especially since the start of COVID. I would recommend talking to the SCCD to see about training as a teacher or teaching assistant.

My experience with SCCD was very positive. I gained a lot of knowledge from Paulina who delivered the course of TA level 3. I would definitely recommend this training provided to any individual wanting to become a teaching assistant.

The SEN Teaching Diploma course at SCCD was an excellent opportunity for me to gain a teaching role in the field of education as well as develop a broad range of skills and understanding of special educational needs.

Learning with SCCD has many advantages: The quality of information and material resources is excellent, they are available on-line on your personal account. Timetables for in site classes as well as placement experience are flexible and easy to fit in with your lifestyle, both working or not. The classes are led by professionals with a vast experience: you can notice their commitment to support teaching and learning at all times.

In my experience it's worth the investment. I was able to find a job immediately after I finished my course. I became economically independent and grew professionally after so many years dedicated to raising my children. It’s rewarding to be part of a SEN child education programme, encouraging them to gain skills and self-confidence in so many life aspects.

This course has being a life changing experience for me and even though due to the pandemic, when the world had to find a different approach to learning abd teaching. SCCD was there for me with the support need for me to achieved my leve 5 certificat. I can honestly say that the support from the lecturers was magnificent and I am truly grateful. Thanks SCCD

Superbly run and organised organisation.

Learning on line as well as face to face and achieving my goal of obtaining my teaching qualifications.

All lectures easy to follow, feedback regularly given and support second to none.

Highly recommend

My Experience at SCCD has been tough many ups and downs throughout the pandemic however I have now finished my training with them. I couldn’t be happier with my lecturer he had a lot of pressure on with the amount of students however Ive finished my Level 5 SCCD course. I really enjoyed my placement school which was provided by SCCD training and I wouldn’t be where I am without them!

Last year I finished my Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training at SCCD and I had a good experience with them. They were supportive and helpful through my journey.
