Can I do pre-primary teacher training online?
Yes. APTTI's pre-primary teacher training is offered online and by distance learning, with 24/7 access to course materials, unlimited downloads and tutor support. You study at your own pace within the course duration (6, 10, 12 or 18 months) and submit work online, so you can train from anywhere in India, the Gulf, Africa or Asia without attending a centre.
What this means in practice
Online study suits working assistants, parents and international learners. The trade-off is that you must organise your own practice with children, which the course encourages.
How online study works
- You receive a username and password after enrolment
- You read and download modules at any time
- You complete assignments and assessments online
- Tutors answer questions and give feedback
- Webinars or live sessions may be offered; ask admissions for the schedule
Making online study effective
Set fixed study times, keep a notebook of activity ideas, try ideas with children and reflect on what happened.
Staying motivated as an online learner
Online learners do best with a routine and a reason. Set a fixed time and place for study, tell your family when you are studying, and break modules into small sessions. Link each module to something you can try with children that week, which makes learning feel real. Join or form a small study group with other trainees if you can. When motivation dips, remind yourself of your goal: the class you want to teach or the school you want to join.
Practical next steps
- Check your device and internet access.
