The role of a teacher is immense in India. They play a critical role in the general development of the students. It is the teacher who imparts knowledge to students and simultaneously instills in them proper values and principles. The teachers play an enormous role in the initial formative years of school life. They often become the role model for the young students. Society has indeed entrusted them with great responsibility.
A teacher exerts far-reaching influence on the society by influencing the students under his / her mentoring and guidance. A teacher can motivate or demoralize a student; it depends on how the teacher conducts himself in class, the attitude he / she bears towards students, the scruples and principles that he upholds and propagates through his / her daily activities in class and outside. The teachers get young impressionable minds which they can influence easily and this is a major responsibility not to be taken lightly. To truly appreciate the duties and obligations of a teacher one must be adequately trained for the job.
Only trained teachers can ensure the proper development of the children entrusted to them. A teacher becomes an expert in the job only after years of training and experience. A teacher has to face many challenges and perform many tasks in classroom and at school. A good teacher training course at a recognized and affiliated institute ensures that the teacher aspirant is up to the task post certification.
Since the needs of the primary students are different from the secondary students, the primary teachers and secondary teachers are required to take up different teacher's training courses. At present there are several colleges and institutes offering Teacher's Training Courses in India.

Asian College of Teachers (ACT) undertakes a continuous review of its teacher training courses to ensure imparting high quality education. However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes. This approach ensures that the stakeholders make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
