Reviews and Testimonials

The Educational Leadership Course (CIDEL) is the best that has happened to me in 2020; during the challenging times of COVID-19 pandemic! Effectively led by the Project Leader- Ms Rupam, this course is rooted in the principles of andragogy...giving us,the practitioner-participants, both a motivation and a propulsion to connect and translate the latest educational theories with and at our work place. Professional readings, academic discourses, networking are my personal advantages. I will highly recommend this course to all those who are interested in the latest and advanced art and science of LEADERSHIP especially in India wherein this opportunity is an oasis in the desert!

The CICEL program gave me a very deep insight into the various leadership theories and practices followed worldwide . I learnt about the successful leadership skills that a leader should develop to improve the quality of teaching and student learning . This program gave me the opportunity to read and understand many Case Studies of School leadership of many countries. My Program leader , Ms Rupam and mentor, Ms Kalpna supported me through out every phase of the Program.

I had joined CIDEL in April 2021 with the intent to learn and add value to myself as an education leader. The course surpassed my expectations. Ms Rupam Sah is an expert facilitator and mentor who gently guided our discussions to enable learning and engagement. It was a pleasure exchanging thoughts and ideas with like-minded and passionate educationists. In addition to rich Cambridge resources and insightful discussions, Ms Rupam Sah ensured a proper structure and format that was followed very rigorously. There are numerous practical insights that I derived from the course. These have been valuable in guiding my day to day decision making and thought process. I strongly recommend this course to all those who aspire to be at the forefront of educational arena!

The CIDEL course is a blend of vision, motivation, inspiration and practical skills for an effective school leader. Sincere gratitude to the Program leader - Ms Rupam Sah who connected me to the course as a guide and enabled me to identify and understand my leadership style and implement effective leadership strategies. Progressive reading during the course helped me to find new innovative ways of developing and managing broader situations where my decision making and problem solving got enhanced. My increased engagement in my work helped me creating a strong and united team. With the launch of National Education Policy 2020 in IndIa I find myself fortunateenough to undergo leadership training that enabled me to understand the competencies and pedagogical practices .

The Educational Leadership Course (CIDEL) was my first on-line course with Edu Lead International and I felt it was a tremendous learning experience for me. I enjoyed every aspect of interactive sessions .The learning was meaningful for my professional growth and will be invaluable for my entire life. I have grown so much and in so many ways. Mrs. Rupam Sah was very accessible and responsive to all my questions and messages.

The leadership course happened upon the entreaty of a friend who is also my companion in the course. I must say that my understanding of a leader has taken new dimension and I have realized that there are numerous aspects of leadership which , if not learnt , can never be understood as everything cannot be done on the basis of intuition, experience or suggestion. Reading about leaders, knowing various leadership theories, discussing educational case studies are essentials to be a thorough leader. I have shed many inhibitions since the time the course started in February 2020. I now see leadership in a fresh context.

The Educational Leadership Course (CIDEL) by Cambridge is by far the best training I have ever attended as it has opened to me the educational realm in a complete 360 degree way. It has paved my understanding of educational leadership in a new dimension and in a holistic manner. With a good mixture of practical and theory giving enough time to discuss ground issues, the course was truly refreshing, interactive and interesting. It also showed me my strengths and improvement areas as a leader and gave me an insight into several relevant issues. The course stands to be an extremely useful tool in the educational field that will help to improve the overall academic as well as non-academic management in schools. The enthusiasm Rupam Ma'am brings to the course lends it a positive and questioning atmosphere thereby increasing its rating to be an excellent course.

CIDTL has always been a centre of attraction for me, but I was always confused about the choosing the right institution for it. All thanks to Rupam ma’am, as I have been associated with her for past five years and persuing CIDTL under her guidance was an end to all my confusions. The course was carried out in a smooth and interesting manner, where execution of the learnt concepts were focussed. The major concepts learnt that I specifically like are, metacognition and reflective practice. I really cherish learning under Rupam ma’am, who is an excellent mentor.

Learning is the only thing that stays with you throughout life. Last year joining the CITDL programme was a life reforming step that I took, for all that I learnt during the course was enlightening, inspiring and helped me grow as a teacher immensely. The way the course is designed is student friendly and extremely informative but I can’t go without appreciating the mentor Ms Rupam Sah who breezed us through the course with such ease that rather than learning we internalized it. I highly recommend it to teachers with progressive mindset.

Every session was comfortable for us to openly put forth our query. The course was well-paced.

The CIDTL Course has been like a game changer for me. I had been teaching for many years but never realized that teaching could be made so interesting by use of appropriate engaging strategies for students. My outlook towards students changed, challenging students were no more challenging to me and I realized the magic which exists in teachers’ hand. This course brought in me the transformation which is appreciated by the students and the sparkle in their eyes after every class indicates that my choice of doing this course was indeed a good decision. I thank the programme Leader Mrs. Rupam Sah for her tremendous support during the course.
