When I took the in-person teacher training course, I had never taught a class before. We learned many useful things, but my favorite part was learning how to crochet left-handed which helped me feel more prepared to support my students. I also liked the sessions about handling different student personalities, and Andrea’s talk on the benefits of crochet.
Lynda and Vicky have so much experience with teaching, and it was great to hear their stories. I still remember Vicky showing me how she keeps her samples to display—it was simple but so helpful.
One of the most important things I learned was how useful a lesson plan can be. I’ve made one for every class I’ve taught since then, and it has made a huge difference in staying organized and prepared.
I really recommend this course to anyone who wants to teach crochet. It gave me everything I needed to feel ready to start.

Taking the Crochet Teacher Training Course was a transformative journey. It helped to deepen my skills in crochet techniques, but I also gained the confidence and tools to share my passion with others. The course was well structured, supportive, and pushed my skills to the next level. I now feel confident to guide students with clarity and creativity. I’m very happy to have had the experience.
