Apple Authorised Training Centre for Education

The Apple Authorised Training Centre for Education Programme provides unique benefits to schools or colleges using Apple professional software solutions in their curriculum.

Whether your school or college teaches media, arts or computer science, this programme empowers you to deliver high-quality training and certification to your students in key software applications used by the professionals.

As an Apple Authorised Training Centre for Education (AATCe) you can give your students a jump-start in film, television, recording and other new media careers, and boost your reputation for first class digital education.

The programme is flexible in its design. It is entirely up to you whether to use the materials provided by the programme to support your existing curriculum, or as a solid basis for stand-alone instruction. Training is scalable to fit all needs of an educational institution within a normal term-length class. Apple Authorised Training Centre for Education classes will add significant value to your current new media programme.

As an Apple Authorised Training Centre for Education, you receive established, proven curriculum and course outlines for each of Apple’s pro applications as well as for Mac OS X.

You also have the opportunity to offer your students the additional benefit of achieving Apple Pro Certification status, Apple’s own end user certification, in their chosen application. This additional certification will distinguish them as a professional-level user of Apple’s Pro Applications and give them competitive edge in the job market.

Apple will also equip you with dedicated instructional material and training books, offer your organisation specific discount prices on hardware and software, and train your trainers and certify them to professor standards.

If your school is passionate about Apple technology and has a desire to teach people to use them, we would like to hear from you now.
