Apple Teacher

Apple Teacher is a free professional learning programme designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning.

Let us support you to gain your Apple Teacher status!

There are six badges to be gained before Apple Teacher status is awarded: iPad Basics, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie and GarageBand. The aim is for you to become aware of the different features of each of these areas of iPad before a short quiz checks your understanding. Once the quiz is passed you gain a badge, all six badges = Apple Teacher.

Our online Apple Teacher series for 2023-2024 has now come to a close. All sessions were recorded and can be accessed here so can be worked through at your own pace.
