Just two weeks ago I finally completed my vocational teacher studies (total 60 ECTS) at the Haaga-Helia School of Vocational Teacher Education, and on Friday 12.5.2017 I became officially a qualified vocational teacher along with my student colleagues. That means we all are allowed to use title AmO, that is an abbreviation of vocational teacher in Finnish. Reaching proficiency to work as a vocational teacher is an important milestone on my career as a teacher.
I want to thank all the people in my student group for a very fascinating and inspiring year together. I also want to thank my employer for trust, that I am going to complete my studies as promised.
