Thank you
I found the program itself very good and can highly recommend it. One possible suggestion for improvement: occasionally check in during the course to see if help is needed. Many heartfelt thanks ;-)

I found the program itself very good and can highly recommend it. One possible suggestion for improvement: occasionally check in during the course to see if help is needed. Many heartfelt thanks ;-)
The working materials were very well prepared, so that without much follow-up I was able to complete all the submitted tests and the practical part independently. Thank you for the excellently prepared material both for the certificate preparation and now for daily work.
The study materials were sent out quickly, were written clearly, and were very interesting to work through. The evaluation also happened quickly and without complications!
The distance course to become a dyslexia trainer was easy for me, because the friendly advisors were always available by email to clear up any uncertainties. I managed it while doing two other programs at the same time. Right now this training is giving me a great opportunity to practice my dream job.
I did both dyslexia and dyscalculia. After receiving the really extensive materials, I dove right in. The more you read in the materials, the more you want to know. Honestly! I think the materials are clear, comprehensive, explanatory, and interestingly organized. Many thanks!
I really enjoyed doing this training. The working material was very clear and easy to understand. The questions for each module assignment were easy to follow. They were a good way to deepen what I had already learned. What I particularly liked was that I had so much freedom in shaping and preparing the practical part. My training children came from a special-needs school for learning, with behaviorally challenging and learning-disabled children. Parent meetings were not possible either, because while the parents gladly agreed that I could work with their children, they were not in a position to engage in further conversation due to their precarious situation. Whenever I had questions or anything was unclear, I was always advised in a friendly and helpful way. I can only recommend this training to everyone!
This program is very well structured and thought through. If questions do come up, they are answered at any time by the competent staff of the ADA.
As a teacher at a special-needs school, I was repeatedly surprised at how little we actually knew as teachers about dyslexia. I kept observing the affected students, was able to identify them, but I saw that they weren't being supported appropriately. So I set out to find a suitable further training and chose (thank God!) the ADA. The reasons I chose this training were the option of flexible time management, so that alongside my half-time teaching position, family, and household, I could keep carving out time to continue my education. Another reason was that from the start it was clear that the approach was not dogmatic but very open, offering many different ways to support learners. What matters is simply recognizing the causes of dyslexia or LRS and understanding the principle of support. From there many paths are open. The price was also fair. About the course itself: at first I found the opening pages quite simple, almost a bit superficial, and the required reading struck me as somewhat polemical, a little American for my taste, but I can also put it positively and say that someone has devoted themselves to this topic with great empathy and passion and made it understandable. The more I went into the topic, the more interesting it became. The module questions were easy to answer. The practical part took longer than I had originally assumed. The stated 50 hours were at least half of the time I actually spent on it. When I had questions, I always received quick — usually immediate — competent and detailed answers. Today, at the end of the program, I have to say that I learned a great deal and have the impression that I gained skills that help me shorten the suffering of dyslexic students. Heartfelt thanks for everything, I recommend this program with a clear conscience.
After a previous training in a similar area, I was looking for more depth in order to better understand the difficulties of dyslexic and dyscalculic children. Background and foundational knowledge are enormously important to me, and I was able to find them in this program! Great praise from me!! The smooth process and rapid replies were also a very positive surprise. All in all, only to be recommended! I would do it again and am now really looking forward to the interesting continuing-education offers on their site!! Five fully deserved stars from me! THANK YOU!
A fantastic certificate. I was able to manage it even with three kids while on maternity leave, and I'm looking forward to the work.
Clearly organized study material, optimal support with questions, clearly defined assignments, fast evaluation of the final paper and shipping of the certificates — and the European Social Fund covers 70% of the costs, since the qualification is recognized in Germany.
The materials are easy to understand, as are the books on the required reading list. Important parts come up again and again in the materials, so they anchor themselves effortlessly in your mind.
In my teacher training they always said to support children individually, but to send those with reading, writing, or arithmetic difficulties to the expert. The question of who exactly the expert was usually remained unanswered, because the children aren't sick, so why send them to the doctor or psychologist? They don't have speech problems either, so a speech therapist? I had to give a presentation and write an exam paper on learning difficulties, and I kept coming across this distance course. Since the topic really interested me, I had the materials sent to me and signed up. The theory part was done quickly, but the practical part took longer for me because our second child was on the way. I was easily able to extend the deadline and then completed the practical part. Email questions were answered immediately, and working with the children is really enjoyable.
In my life situation with part-time work and family, studying via distance course was very welcome. Care is taken to ensure a balanced theory and practice section. Both parts are very much oriented to the future needs you'll have as a trainer. By the end of the program I had already rented a room and built up a small client base. I'm happy to recommend this distance course!
This distance course is outstanding for anyone whose schedule isn't flexible — being able to set your own pace is really fantastic. In the practical work with children you can immediately test the theory you've learned, and in the required reading you'll learn a great deal about the subject. Especially in the teaching profession, the topics covered can be reviewed and addressed. A great training with lots of background knowledge.
The course is absolutely to be recommended. At the beginning it was hard to motivate myself to sit down at my desk on top of my full-time job. But pretty quickly I got into the really well-structured modules. And then it almost took care of itself. I learned lots of new things and tried them out and put them into practice right away. My perspective on dyslexic children has completely changed. I'm glad I chose this path and I'm looking forward to working as a certified dyslexia trainer.
With this course everyone can learn at their own rhythm. I find that I now recognize dyslexic children better and above all know how to help them.
I find this training very practice-oriented. The kindergarten area was especially relevant for me — unlike in other programs, it was presented really well here and there are great ideas for supporting kindergarten-aged children. It's also great that you can call at any time with questions, that you're treated very courteously, and that you feel everyone is really putting in the effort for you. I can only warmly recommend it to everyone!
The certification as a dyslexia trainer is wonderfully put together. You can schedule your time however suits you, and the materials are very well structured. Everything is described clearly so you can find your way around. The online help is also great! You get quick, competent assistance. I also liked that you can download the study materials, so everything is digitally available.
Online help was very friendly, kind, and always helpful.
