Testimonials

While working in non-formal education, I realised that I wanted to become a teacher, which led me to choose the Professional Pedagogy programme at KTU. The programme is well-suited for working professionals with busy schedules, as it allows me to study in my own time and at my own pace. The modules cover a range of perspectives – from didactics and psychology to educational leadership.

As a computer programmer, I became a teacher of computer science, so I decided to deepen my knowledge in pedagogy. It was easy to combine studies and work, as all the classes were delivered remotely. I had to spend more time on written work, but working in a school I quickly found practical applications for all the assignments. I chose to study while already working as a teacher, which is what I am still doing today. Currently, I am preparing for the certification as an expert teacher.
