I'm very satisfied with the certificate program — the materials are very clear and well organized, which makes them ideal for distance learning. When you have questions, the customer center responds immediately. The program is very hands-on, and you can put theory into practice right away.
Hi, in my view the program is very well put together both in design and execution. I also find the support after graduation very positive, especially since in Germany people often don't distinguish much between reading/writing difficulties and dyslexia, which raises legal questions too. As I'm dyslexic myself, I have to say the well-founded scientific explanations also taught me a lot about myself, and I now understand why I run into limits in other areas — like music — that are very hard to overcome when perception isn't optimally developed. I can only recommend this program. Sabine Osthege
The program is clearly structured. Whenever something was still unclear, I could ask questions at any time. I can apply what I learned really well and always feel a wave of joy when I see my students benefit from it.
I successfully completed the certified dyslexia trainer and dyscalculia trainer course. The materials are very thorough and full of great suggestions. Just as positive: the contact with the team. Every question and request is handled quickly and without red tape. I'd come back to this provider any time!
I really enjoyed the program! I could schedule my time freely and quickly found students whom I was able to train successfully. When I needed help, I could ask my questions online and got prompt answers. The materials and the information in the customer center were and are very good and completely sufficient! The costs stayed within the announced range and are quite reasonable for a program of this kind. I regularly attended the professional conferences held annually in Salzburg — always instructive and informative for me. I always really enjoyed the exchange with other trainers! All in all, I can recommend this course to anyone interested, or to anyone who wants to broaden their work as a teacher! A big thank-you here to Dr. Astrid Kopp-Dullar and the entire ADA team!
Very precise guidelines, very clearly stated, with a good structure — help with any questions is always available. The exam sections are processed very quickly with fast feedback.
Informative and professional. The flexible study time was also really helpful.
I completed both the dyslexia and dyscalculia programs and am completely satisfied. I'd give the structure of the course, the materials, and the support 5 stars. The theory section made me feel well prepared to tackle the practical part. The program was demanding, especially alongside a full-time job, but also very interesting. By now — alongside my main job — I support 3 children (dyslexia and dyscalculia training) and have already achieved real progress. I especially like the continuing education options. They give me the chance to stay current and to look at the topic from many different angles.
I finished the training a few years ago, yet I still pick up the materials and books from time to time. By using AFS, I've already had so much success with my students.
Doing my certificate with ADA was the best decision. You're perfectly supported during the program and afterwards you still have personal advice and support whenever you need it.
The training is very practice-oriented and easy to do from home — if anything is unclear or you have a problem, you immediately get support from the team — so you're never alone — I can only recommend this training ;)
Granted, the study materials repeat themselves on some points... but on the other hand, repetition is the mother of all learning ;-) At first some things look more complicated than they actually are once you put them into practice. So: no fear and dive in! It's all written in an understandable way and you can build your own training framework from the various pointers. The AFS training method is wonderfully refreshing — it's fundamentally open, meaning you can fold in whatever you know from other areas (e.g. as a classroom teacher). With playful and creative elements from reform pedagogy you can liven up the sessions. With its three-step structure it brings enough variety into a training hour that so far no child has been bored because the same thing was repeated too often. After finishing the training you can advise, test/assess, and train on the topic at any time. What's fascinating is that you see results after only a short time and end up working with motivated kids and excited parents! For all these reasons — highly recommended, money well spent :-)
I was very pleased with the training and still am — even years later. I'm very grateful for how quickly and reliably everything was handled.
The dyslexia trainer certificate provides extensive theoretical and practical know-how plus great service. I especially appreciated the flexibility next to a busy work life.
I think the training is very good because it includes both a well-organized theory section and a strong practical section. The study time is also nicely balanced, and you can manage the program alongside another degree. The evaluation of submitted documents happens very quickly and you get feedback fast. The exam options are also great, though in my view people who didn't choose the multiple-choice variant should also do the worksheets for the different sensory perceptions. That helped me enormously in finding my footing in practice. All in all, I think the training is very good.
Good contact, fast handling, all good.
They really do their best. Good info. Good and quick handling of questions.
The continuing education courses can be done and chosen entirely from home. Very well suited for working professionals. The topics are clearly laid out and varied. You save a lot of time and money.
Easy process. Individually paced. Very good support when you have questions. Choice of exam modes. Practical part can be organized individually. Uncomplicated. Very satisfied.
The structure of the program is fantastic. Everything is very understandable and well explained. Even now in my daily work the materials are outstanding. I can only recommend this program.
