Sampling continued until the data saturation stage. They participated using a semi-structured in-depth interview tool. The data analysis method was coding. Findings: Based on the research findings, the experiences of the accepted candidates regarding the challenges of using the teacher training course were placed in two themes: lack of readiness of the trainees and feeling stress and confusion at the beginning of teaching.
