What is AFT

A real teaching apprenticeship, before your first job

The Academy of Future Teachers gives candidate teachers professional experience before they've taught in real contexts: schools and early childhood institutions.

You develop the craft that actually gets used: planning and running lessons, creating resources, assessing student learning, managing a classroom, and reflecting honestly on your practice.

Experienced mentor teachers guide you the whole way.

What you'll gain

  • A learning environment inside leading Indonesian schools, with dedicated mentors and trainers
  • Real experience and knowledge about teaching and learning
  • The opportunity to practice your teaching knowledge and skills
  • A genuine chance to be hired as a teacher afterwards

What's asked of you

  • Demonstrating professional conduct
  • Committing to professional learning
  • Presenting prepared lessons
  • Managing and finalizing the AFT program

AFT runs across ten subject tracks, so you train inside the discipline you actually want to teach.

What participants said

The question-bank program using Examview is very helpful and effective. It helps teachers organize questions really well.
Syarifah Hudiya
AFT 2019 Participant at TNA Aceh
AFT is a genuinely comprehensive teacher-education program. I gained knowledge that is truly useful for becoming a qualified educator in this information age.
Kemal Jacob Alis
AFT 2019 Participant at Kharisma Bangsa
The reading-book program made me realize that being a teacher is not just about delivering lessons in front of the class. It is far more meaningful than that.
