Student Testimonials

Hear from our students of the Specialist Diploma in Teaching and Supporting Children with Special Needs.

Great Learning Experience
The lecturer was so positive and caring and it was a joy to attend to his classes. He took care of ensuring that all are in a safe psychological environment to come share our stories, experiences, issues and concerns. We all had a great bond as close group of class with great support from him that it was so hard to leave the session on the last class.

Authentic, Warm and Insightful Sharing by Lecturer
The lecturer is a wonderful teacher. He's so experienced and so in-tune with the art of counselling. You can tell from his teaching style that is a great counsellor - he's very authentic and warm and I'm very impressed with his ability to always help us learn by reflecting versus telling us "the answers".
- J. Tang (Completed ACC's Specialist Diploma in Relationship and Marital Counselling in April 2021)
Experiential Sharing, Demonstrations, Discussions
The course offered to learn through experiential sharing, demonstration, discussions, interactive environment, and rich media methodologies. The attachment opportunity was a blessed opportunity to meet children with special needs and be part of their learning journey.
- A. Amparo (Completed ACC's Specialist Diploma in Teaching and Supporting Children with Special Needs in February 2019)
Fun and Interesting Lessons
The lecturer is a very clear and concise lecturer who gives her notes in a very easy to understand manner. It makes learning so much easier when you understanding what you read from the notes. Lessons with her are always conducted in fun and laughter and thus making lessons interesting. When the mind is happy, more learning takes place. Thank you for being an interactive lecturer.
- J. Teo (Completed ACC's Specialist Diploma in Counselling Psychology in August 2017)
Journey of Self-Discovery and Breakthrough in Mindset
I believe the breakthrough in my mindset comes when I begin to shift from the result-focus in counselling to include a much broader and deeper understanding of helping another troubled human being to overcome their past trauma. Having you as my lecturer has opened a wider scope of understanding to me and I just want to say to you a hearty Thank You.
- V. Hoi (Completed ACC's Specialist Diploma in Children and Youth Counselling and Management on 15 February 2018)
Improved Understanding of My Children
The exposure study on the subjects brings me to a different world. This course has brought me near to my children. And to assist my children to achieve their goals.

Great Insights to Parenting and Improved Communication Skills
In a bid to help and understand my daughter's condition, I signed up for the Specialist Diploma in Counselling Psychology and have attended 2 out of the 3 modules so far. Relations have greatly improved in the family and with my daughter specifically, since my taking of this course and I am very proud to say that the lecturer as well as the course content have provided my family with great insights to parenting and how to interact with my 2 teenagers with attentive listening and improved communications skills.
