Log InIntroducing a new certification program is often exciting in theory — and overwhelming in practice.
As a Principal or Head of Academics, you’re constantly balancing innovation with feasibility. New initiatives should enrich learning, not burden your academic team or disrupt the flow of the semester.
That’s exactly why the Apple Authorized Training Center for Education (AATCe) program — delivered in partnership with iPlanet has been designed to run smoothly alongside your existing academic setup, with zero operational strain on your faculty or admin teams.
A Fully Managed Rollout, Built Around Your Academic Calendar
The AATCe program enables your institution to offer Apple-certified training in:
- iOS app development
- Creative tools like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro
- IT support and infrastructure skills
But the real value for your leadership team lies in how this program is implemented.
iPlanet manages the entire deployment, including:
- Lab infrastructure design and Apple hardware setup
- Software configuration, user setup, and assessment delivery
- Faculty and IT staff training for ongoing, independent program delivery
Every stage is coordinated with your semester timelines and exam schedules, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum alignment with academic routines.
No Extra Work for Your Teaching Faculty
New academic initiatives often come with an unintended side effect: extra workload for your existing faculty
With AATCe, that’s not the case.
Here’s how the model is designed to protect faculty bandwidth:
- Faculty onboarding is structured and concise — they’re trained to deliver Apple’s curriculum with full support, not left to figure it out on their own
- All classroom tools and exam systems are pre-configured — so your team can focus on teaching, not tech setup
- Ongoing support from iPlanet means any technical issues are resolved quickly, without drawing on internal academic resources
This approach allows you to introduce a world-class certification program without asking faculty to stretch beyond their current responsibilities.
Aligned to Institutional Routines — Not an Afterthought
One of the most common questions we hear is:
“How will this fit into our already full academic calendar?”
The answer: by design.
AATCe programs are planned around your existing academic cycle.
- Setup is scheduled during semester breaks or quieter academic periods
- Certification programs can be offered as electives, weekend sessions, or short-term intensives
- Timelines are mutually agreed upon and followed through with a dedicated implementation coordinator
This ensures that the day-to-day academic experience remains smooth, while students gain the added advantage of a globally recognized certification.
Proven Across Institutions – Big and Small
The AATCe model has already been deployed in dozens of engineering colleges across India — from large private universities to focused technical campuses.
Common results include:
- Faster program adoption without internal resistance
- High student interest due to Apple’s global brand value
- Positive impact on placement performance and student engagement
- Stronger reputation as a tech-forward institution
And in each of these deployments, the academic team was free to stay focused on what mattered most: education quality.
A Simple, Effective Way to Add Value Without Stress
At the end of the day, your role is to ensure that every initiative contributes meaningfully to the institution’s academic mission — and that it does so without exhausting your teams or resources.
The Apple AATCe program checks both boxes:
- Value for students through skill-based, certified learning
- Zero operational overload for the academic administration
