Great program

This program helps me every single day in my job. Varied games and exercises. I have 2 dyslexia hours per week at my school and your program works really well there.

Review

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.

Very good and thorough program

I completed the dyslexia and dyscalculia trainer training and have been self-employed ever since. The training was very understandable and thorough; even the practical section was extremely well supported, and any unclear point or question was answered immediately. I would happily have given 5 points, but I do have one small piece of criticism. I think you really should already have some pedagogical background — ideally even a teaching degree — to truly feel safe working with children who have dyslexia or dyscalculia. In my view, having a window into the children's everyday school life and pedagogical know-how is extremely important to really meet a child where they are. All in all, though, I can only recommend the program!

Dyslexia Trainer Certificate Program responded:
Thank you for your feedback! According to the program guidelines, all professional groups in the pedagogical, psychological, and medical fields fulfill the admission requirements for the certificate program. You are of course right that working with children requires pedagogical-didactic skills. We are working continuously to expand our offerings in this area.

Warm regards,
Your Dyslexia Trainer Certificate Program Team

A wonderful thing

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.

Review of the certified dyslexia and dyscalculia trainer training

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.

* Study time well calculated — enough time built in * Materials thorough, but in places unstructured and could be improved stylistically * Exam options are user-friendly * Information by email answered quickly and in detail * Continuing education and networking opportunities available — great! * Independent work is desired and expected — the sample lesson plans help a lot when preparing training sessions

Easy from home

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.

This helped me...

The program helped me a lot. From the very beginning the support was excellent. No matter what I asked or when, I always got a fast reply. The content is well and clearly structured. I haven't been able to apply it much professionally yet, but during after-school care it really helped me understand the children with their homework and offer better support to some of them. The only thing I would improve would be the paper of the materials. The whole thing is printed on glossy paper so you can't really highlight pages with a marker or pen — colors smear or rub off.

Review of the certificate program

During my training, all my questions were answered as thoroughly as possible. I was also able to engage with this subject in a deep and independent way!

The program is demanding and well structured. There are plenty of teaching materials. The ADA's support of students is very good. Questions are answered quickly and professionally, and solutions are offered. Personally, for the practical part I would like the ADA to work more closely with dyslexia centers in larger cities in Austria and Germany, so that maybe as a student you would have the chance to shadow a dyslexia/dyscalculia trainer at work in those centers. Conversations with the "specialists" on the ground often surface other perspectives, and experiences can be exchanged. During my training, I tried to visit a dyslexia center or to apply for an internship there. It wasn't possible, or required a huge amount of effort. The students should be offered a simple, fast, unbureaucratic way to do that. From my practical training, though, I did learn that theory and practice don't yet form a unified whole. There's still a lot of work to do on that front. I wish the ADA team continued success!

Dyslexia Trainer Certificate Program responded:
Thank you for your feedback! We are very sorry that it wasn't possible for you to take observation hours with a trainer in your area because that would have involved too much effort for you. There is no obligation on either side to provide observation hours, but many graduates are happy to do so.

Warm regards,

Joy in the dyslexia trainer certification

I want to thank you for turning my initial interest into a calling. Working with the professional study materials, the materials on offer, and the friendly support reinforced my decision to soon start the follow-up program to become a dyscalculia trainer. Please keep going just like this!

Review of the certificate program

Very thorough

The program is very thorough and well illustrated, and you can also pull in additional offerings from the customer center. In the digital age there are also lots of online games and apps available. If you have questions or anything is unclear, the responsible people get back to you in no time. Because it's self-study, you set your own time and goals. I was able to get a lot out of the training and demand for this work is really high.

Very interesting program!

I really enjoyed the program and learned so much. Throughout you're very well supported and guided. You can ask for help anytime. Everyone at the dyslexia association I was in touch with during my studies was friendly and helpful. What's really great is the wealth of tools, most of which are available free of charge! After finishing the program I feel like I can genuinely help affected learners. I can warmly recommend this program to anyone interested.

I would do this training again

I'm and was very satisfied with the program. I also really like that you can continue with various professional development courses afterwards. The individual modules and books are easy to navigate and very helpful (you can keep going back to them as reference). The information on the website is up to date and very interesting. I'd do the program again if I could. Many thanks. Best wishes, Manuela
