Apple Regional Training Centre
Inspiring Futures Regional Training Centre
As an Apple Regional Training Centre, we support teachers to feel confident and inspired when using Apple technology in and beyond the classroom. Our courses are designed to be pedagogically based, practical, welcoming and classroom-focused. We bring educators together to explore creative ways of teaching with Apple technology, share best practice, and learn from one another as part of a growing professional community.
Being recognised as an Apple Regional Training Centre reflects our commitment to high-quality professional learning. We provide opportunities for teachers to build skills, grow confidence and see what’s possible when technology is used with purpose.
Apple Regional Training Centres also support educators on their journey to becoming Apple Teachers — a professional learning programme that recognises and celebrates great teaching with Apple technology.
Teachers and leaders are welcome to attend any of our courses. Through practical, classroom-focused learning, they build strong pedagogical understanding and explore how technology can be used with purpose to enrich and amplify the learner experience.
Inspiring Futures Regional Training Centre aims to:
- support teachers to develop skills and confidence using Apple technology
- share ideas, best practice and the latest innovations in Apple education
- grow a strong community of Apple Teachers
- inspire creativity, autonomy and excellence in teaching and learning for all
What is an Apple Teacher?
