STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Furthering my qualifications – studying pedagogy for childcare workers at Palestra University in Prague – was of great benefit to me. It enriched me with new knowledge and experience and enabled me to further my education in the field of childcare, which I am now able to practise as a result. I would recommend this supplementary course at this university to everyone; the lecturers are helpful and approachable, and the atmosphere is friendly. I work as a teaching assistant and youth worker at Masaryk Primary School in Litoměřice.

The retraining course at Palestra helped me find a new job. I must commend all the lecturers and teachers for their helpful and professional approach. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone. I am currently working as a teaching assistant and form tutor at a primary school in Chrudim.

Kateřina H.

A brilliant course for future teaching assistants and childcare workers. Excellent tutors, plenty of practical inspiration and professional organisation. The preparation for the final exam was intense, but thanks to the school’s support, it was all manageable. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to complete their teaching qualification.
