The L3AET course with Excelon Learning was a good experience. Most of the learning is self-paced, as they provide the material which you can access and you go through it on your own, which actually worked well for me as I have a very busy schedule as is. The content was clear and easy to follow, even though I had to put in my own effort to fully understand everything. Whenever I needed help, Felicia, my assigned tutor, was really supportive and guided me properly. Overall, I’d say it’s a good option if you’re comfortable with independent learning but still want support when needed.

I recently enrolled in AET course and the process was quite smooth from the beginning. The admissions team was really helpful and answered all my queries timely. At first I thought it might be difficult as there were no proper instructions for how to proceed the course on the platform, but once I got into it, it was manageable. it doesnt t feel like I am completely stuck at any point.

I have recently completed my L3AET course I am very happy with it. The course helped me understand teaching and learning concepts better and I feel more confident about working in a classroom environment as I intend to work with children in future.
you really have to manage your own time and make sure you go through all the materials properly because there’s only guidance available if you ask, otherwise you are left to your own devices. Some topics were a bit confusing at first, especially the assessment parts, but after reading and practicing I was able to understand them. I also liked that the examples were practical and connected to real classroom situations.
Honestly, it was not a very easy course because you have to put effort in, but I think that’s good because you really learn by doing it yourself. I feel more prepared now and I am happy with my result.

The course is okay but not very easy sometimes it feels confusing. Resources are okay but some parts need more explanation and clarity. Compliance team responded to my complaints when I did but not always fast. it was a bit stressful.
