What our students have to say

It was a great experience that has seen me soar in confidence

I had taught for a while before coming to CIAPS. Before then, I experienced a great deal of frustration when it came to handling the learning challenges of my students. We weren't just connecting because I lacked the knowledge to deal with their difficulties. I had read some articles online but needed a proper guide and simulation that would enlarge my capacity and increase my confidence to deal with those issues. The International Tutor Certificate course came to the rescue with a well-planned program, dedicated tutors and real-life examples drawn from best practices. My "eureka" moment finally arrived. It was a great experience that has seen me soar in confidence. Obvious to my employers, I was given the privilege to head the college section just kicking off. At CIAPS the experience was worth it.
