Am very proud to be part of the ACT learning community. The courses are of international standard. The support system is one of the best I can think of. The academic journey has been one with great expectation and accomplishment.
The learning experience at ACT has been nothing short of being fantastic. It was a seamless experience, right from the beginning - coordination, timely support, well crafted materials that were easy to comprehend. The feedback given was also useful, to the point. Overall, it was great and I am glad I took up ACT for my course(s)! Thank you very much!
I was looking for a master’s to enhance my teaching career as well as gain an internationally recognised degree that’s affordable, flexible and manageable when I chanced upon Asian College of Teachers. I really enjoyed this program.This program is tailored in a way that suited me perfectly. I am a high school teacher and with this flexible program I was able to complete all the assignments at my own time and pace. The staff at ACT and EIU were especially helpful and they guided me through the program. I am indeed indebted to ACT, EIU and the staff for giving me this learning opportunity, assistance and support to earn myself a master’s degree while I was working!
I have completed my PG Diploma in TEFL/TESOL and continued my Master's with specialization in Educational Administration with ACT and EIU. My learning experiences with ACT have been phenomenal. I have been well guided by my instructors at all times and it has been a pleasure to be an alumni of this institute. After my PG Diploma I was appointed as an English teacher at a school I have been trying for many years and within 3 years of working I was promoted to the Head of the English Department as soon as I completed my Master's. The knowledge I have gained through these programs have been very helpful in my career and my creativity as a teacher and now a team leader. I am planning to continue my Doctorate at the same institute but still looking for guidance as to which field to take... But will start very soon.
It was a great experience taking up this course. Initially, I was skeptical about taking the course given my situation having a one year old kid to take care of along with my household chores and office work. When I started this course, I was not even sure if I would be able to make it. But then the course materials were very easy to follow and with the feedback on each assignment given by the course instructor I was able to complete the course with a first class grade. This course was structured very well and real time examples in each module helped me understand things better. For an aspiring teacher like me, this course was really useful. It helped me understand the future of education and teaching.
My learning experience in ACT/European International University has been excellent. The skills from this course are really valuable, it was great to be part of this course. I plan to complete Master of Arts in Education with SEND soon with ACT/EIU. Thank you for the amazing feedback received from the instructors as well as the course coordinator who was very helpful and supportive in facilitating course completion and timely guidance given to me during enrolments.
