Program Description: Preschool Teacher – SSI

It has always been said that the world belongs to the young, and this begins with the very youngest. Preschool children are a very diverse and sensitive group, and when working with them, we must be fully committed—with both our minds and hearts—to them and to their proper intellectual, physical, and spiritual development. A preschool teacher must be friendly, calm, and patient, and always think one step ahead. With the professional and practical knowledge you’ll gain in our program, a rewarding career filled with children’s smiles and hugs awaits you.

Due to the higher natural birth rate, the need for greater capacity in preschools—and consequently for more staff—is constantly growing. Part of the solution to these needs is the growing number of private preschools; after completing the program, you can choose a career in either public or private preschools, or you can pursue an independent career path.

Enrollment Requirements

Anyone who meets the following minimum requirements may enroll in the program:

  • completed elementary school or lower-level vocational school

Enrollment Process

Before enrolling, you can contact us by phone or email, or visit our office for an informational meeting. After reviewing your documentation and analyzing your needs and options, you can decide to enroll. Upon enrollment, you will work with the program organizer to develop a personalized education plan that outlines the conditions, methods, formats, and deadlines for fulfilling the obligations set forth in the educational program.

Upon enrollment, you will also gain access to the e-index, where you can access various materials, exam dates, lectures, consultations with professors, class schedules, and other important information.

Be sure to also read the frequently asked questions and important information.

Payment

The registration fee is 150 EUR and is valid for the current school year. Upon enrollment, the participant chooses the educational format that best suits their needs. If they wish to attend lectures more frequently, they can purchase a package of 10 exams with lectures (tuition) and pay for them in installments. However, if they choose to study independently and take exams, they can pay for exams and lectures as they go. The exam costs 90 EUR, and the exam with a lecture costs 160 EUR. Tuition is 1,600 EUR—you can pay it in up to 10 installments. The first retake of the exam is free of charge.

Upon enrollment, you must pay the enrollment fee and the cost of at least three exams, or the enrollment fee and the first installment of tuition. This allows each participant to create a personalized educational program and pay only for what they actually use.

If the payer is a COMPANY or another legal entity, we will issue an invoice to you based on the company’s purchase order.

Type of Education

Adjustments for Special Education

Course requirements are adjusted based on the recognition of an individual’s prior learning. Adult education is a specialized field of education, so we strive to adapt to your needs as much as possible and take your individual needs into account.

Lectures are held 2–4 times a week in the afternoon, as are exams and office hours. Exam periods run throughout the year, and the vast majority of exams can be taken at least once a month. This allows participants to set their own pace and tailor their education to their needs.

You can choose between attending lectures and self-directed learning. An exam follows the completion of the lecture series. While the focus is on self-study, you have access to in-person and online consultations with the instructor, during which they will explain your course requirements and objectives and are available to answer any questions you may have.

Upon enrollment, work with the training provider to develop a personalized training plan that outlines the conditions, methods, formats, and deadlines for fulfilling the obligations set forth in the training program.

Lectures

2–4 times a week in the afternoon, according to the schedule

Most courses do not have mandatory lectures before the exam, but depending on your individual situation, we will advise you on which ones you should attend.
