I found the Specialist Certification in Understanding Augmentative and Alternative Communication (Ireland) course to be a valuable learning experience. As a special education teacher in Egypt, I was looking to gain a deeper understanding of AAC and how to effectively integrate it into my teaching practice. The course provided a solid foundation in the principles of AAC, and I appreciated the opportunities to engage with case studies and discuss scenarios with my peers. While some of the course materials could be improved, I found the overall quality to be good and the instructors to be knowledgeable and supportive. One area where I saw significant improvement was in my ability to assess and support students with complex communication needs - the course provided me with practical tools and strategies that I've already started to implement in my classroom.

I recently completed the Specialist Certification in Understanding Augmentative and Alternative Communication (Ireland) course, and I must say it was a great experience. As a psychologist in Brazil, I was looking to expand my knowledge of AAC and explore its applications in different contexts. The course provided a thorough overview of the field, covering topics such as AAC assessment, intervention, and policy. I found the course materials to be well-structured and easy to follow, and the instructors were always available to answer questions and provide feedback. One of the highlights of the course was the opportunity to engage with peers from diverse backgrounds and share experiences and perspectives. While there were some technical issues with the online platform, overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others interested in AAC.
