Testimonials


DAV Guru Shikshanam is a blessing in my life. It brought out the real teacher in me. It helped me move out of my comfort zone and
created the thirst to learn more, explore more and do more. The subjects are well crafted by a team of experts and every faculty is
the best in their fields. The practical courses in the first half of the day which spans across classes 1 to 10 over the year enabled me
to understand how teaching patterns and communication with the students differ. The theory classes helped us to apply whatever we
learnt in the practical sessions to get the real picture especially child psychology and classroom management. The assessment was a
continuous process and the exams were challenging. If someone has the passion for teaching, there cannot be a better place than
Guru Shikshanam.

The ‘Business Accounting & Office Skills’ course is a comprehensive and career oriented course. I had zero knowledge about
Accounting before taking up this course. With the help of expert coaching, I am successful and now working as accountant in a Pvt Ltd
Company. I highly recommend this course to anyone who aspires to acquire all round knowledge about Accounting.

A highly impressive institute that makes educators feel supported and equipped in their effort to change lives. I felt honoured to learn
from such professional and positive people. Everything they do oozes integrity and excellence. It was so refreshing.

The Nursery Teacher Training Course helped me to perceive the way of looking at children from their
perspective and also to handle them appropriately. The extreme care that every child needs during
their kindergarten years is not only explained during theory sessions and eminent speakers’ sessions,
but also practically experienced. Being with children in classrooms has also given a complete hands-on
experience in every aspect including the motherly approach of teachers. The holistic approach has thus
molded me to confidently take up my career a teacher. Privileged to be part of the training!

Over the past year, DAV Nursery has become a second home for me. During NTT course I found all the
faculty, support staff and the school management very much supportive and professional which made
me pursue my course in confident way. This course has more hands-on than theoretical knowledge
which helps us to apply concepts easily. I would strongly recommend DAV Guru Shikshanam to anyone
who has got a liking to groom young kids, very early in their schooling.
The course also offers several opportunities to showcase and hone my skills and abilities in arts and
craft besides regular subjects.

A very enriching experience to participate in a one-of-a-kind Public Policy Fellowship Program
organised by DAV Shikshanam. The program gave participants a wide view of diverse subjects ranging
from ‘India's Military Might’ to ‘Understanding Healthcare System’ to something very legal – ‘India's
Constitution and Amendments’. The whole objective is to create awareness regarding different
subjects pertaining to the country to enable one to become an Informed Citizen.
