With the help of (70) postgraduate diploma education student-teachers, the study looked into self-confidence. After completing their undergraduate degrees in various institutions, these trainee-teachers "students" enrolled in the College of Arts and Humanities at A'Sharqiyah University in Oman to pursue an educational certification diploma. The researchers employed Sidney Shrauger's self-confidence scale, which was developed in 1990. Dr. Adel Abdullah of the Faculty of Education at the University of Zagazig in the Arab Republic of Egypt amended, revised, and translated it into Arabic, and scholars examined it appropriate to the Omani environment. According to the findings of the current study, trainee-teachers in the educational qualification diploma programme have a poor level of self-confidence.
