Trainers in application development for Apple platforms will be trained in Kazakhstan. The program will be launched under an initiative by Astana Hub and Apple, the technology park said in a statement.

Astana Hub and Apple are launching the Training of Trainers program in Kazakhstan, based at the Apple Authorized Training Centre for Education (AATCe), with instruction taking place at the alem.ai International Artificial Intelligence Center.

The training is scheduled to begin in May 2026. Participants will take part in an intensive four-day bootcamp led by an Apple-certified international trainer.

Candidates eligible for the program must have basic programming knowledge — experience in any language is acceptable — as well as English proficiency at no lower than an Intermediate level. Upon completion, they will be able to develop as trainers for application development on Apple platforms.

Astana Hub noted that the initiative will be an important step in advancing education in digital technologies and mobile software development. Trainers will be able to teach and contribute to the growth of the mobile app ecosystem in Kazakhstan.

Participants will learn iOS app development in Swift with Xcode, explore application architecture, and design user interfaces using UIKit and SwiftUI. The course also covers Apple frameworks such as ARKit and Core ML, web service integration, and building a complete app from scratch.

Following the training of trainers, Astana Hub plans to train school and university students, as well as beginner developers. The program will focus on developing mobile app development skills and building their own apps for Apple platforms.

AATCe is part of a global community of educational institutions, demonstrating a commitment to delivering innovative educational solutions using Apple tools and technologies.
