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

Training for success

Whether your school, college or university 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.

There’s no doubt that students applying for creative arts and technology courses are increasingly aware of the need to be qualified in industrial software tools to help them get good jobs. They see on our website that we are an AATCe, and often one of their first questions is ‘how do I become certified in Apple’s Pro Applications?’

Enriching the curriculum

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.

Apple has dedicated courseware and instructional material for you to use in the classroom, discounts on hardware and software in certain countries, and brings your dedicated instructors to Apple Certified Trainer level.

Recognition for your students

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.
