The Apple Developer Academy at Binus is the first initiative in Southeast Asia to strengthen Indonesia's economy by creating world-class developers in an innovative and dynamic application development ecosystem. This 10-month academy program is open to potential participants of all ages and backgrounds from all over Indonesia. The curriculum is designed to support those with experience in programming and computer science as well as those interested in fields such as design, business, and others.

The program will provide participants with new insights and opportunities to challenge themselves by solving real-world problems through application development, technology development, and startup ideas. The academy will strengthen participants' creativity and collaboration, which are essential skills needed throughout the program. The program will be delivered mainly in Bahasa Indonesia but also in English by facilitators at the Apple Developer Academy at BINUS.

The registration for the Apple Developer Academy at BINUS will be open again from mid April 2025, followed by a selection process. Candidates who successfully pass the selection process and are selected will participate in the program from March to December 2026.

The program is designed to run for 10 months, starting in March and concluding in December (every year). There are two shifts available: in the morning (from 08:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) or in the afternoon (from 13:00 p.m. to 17:00 p.m.). All participants will attend sessions from Monday to Friday, and they must commit to attending the academy onsite for four hours per day during the specified shift times.

The session is selected during the recruitment process and for any changes, participants must provide a comprehensive formal explanation. If candidates have already been assigned to join the morning shift, they will be unable to change shifts until the program concludes.

Please be aware that onboarding will commence in February, so there will be several days where participants will be required to attend the office for preparation.

We have developed protocols in case a future pandemic situation occurs again. During a pandemic, we will conduct remote activities in compliance with government regulations and guidelines. We have also implemented health protocols to minimize the spread of the disease if it is related to the virus.

Depending on the circumstances, we may continue to conduct remote activities in the following year or until the government declares the situation to be under control. Once it is endemic, activities will resume at the Apple Developer Academy facility as normal.
