Enabling confidence, creativity & character in every child!

Parents’ & Teachers’ Certificate Course

Six-month comprehensive ONLINE training

Join us from anywhere in the world!

Parents’ & Teachers’ Certificate Course (PTCC) is being offered since 2004 under the leadership of Mr. Salman Asif Siddiqui (Educational Psychologist & Director ERDC) along with a team of competent mentors.

Hundreds of parents, teachers, school heads and individuals from different walks of life go through this course every year. This course is based on the premise that a child’s education does not just occur at school. Rather it takes place everywhere, particularly at home. If parents and teachers perform with the shared vision of Tarbiyah and have strong intellectual foundation they can effectively achieve the greater goals of education.

This course aims to develop every individual first as a model learner, then as a learning facilitator and ultimately as a mentor to contribute their best to the family & society. The program offers various tools and resources for an individual’s personal development and prepares them to sustain a child’s natural confidence, creativity and character.
