Description
The Christian Educator Certification (CEC) program of ACSI Asia Pacific (formerly ACSI Indonesia) integrates foundational modules in both Education and Christianity through three primary training pathways:
• Foundation Program (FP) – formerly the Basic Certification Program (BCP)
• Teaching Development Program (TDP) – formerly the Teacher Certification Program (TCP)
• Leadership Development Program (LDP) – formerly the Principal Certification Program (PCP)
Each program consists of four modules designed to equip Christian educators with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to foster effective Christian education throughout the Asia Pacific region.
CEC Cycle I began in Surabaya and Jakarta in 2005 with the launch of the Teacher Certification track, which consisted of the BCP and TCP components. This was followed by the Principal Certification track, which included the BCP, TCP, and PCP components, in subsequent cycles. As the demand for professional development in Christian education continued to grow, the program expanded to additional cities. Since 2008, the Teacher Certification track (BCP + TCP) has also been offered in Denpasar, Pontianak, Bandung, Palembang, and Jayapura, with each location typically serving at least 30 participants.
In 2018, the four modules of the Basic Certification Program (BCP) were made available through an online learning platform, increasing accessibility for educators across Indonesia. Beginning in May 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, both the Teacher Certification Program (TCP) and Principal Certification Program (PCP) were delivered fully online. Following the pandemic, these programs transitioned to a hybrid format, combining onsite and online learning opportunities.
In January 2025, ACSI Indonesia officially transitioned to ACSI Asia Pacific, reflecting an expanded regional vision and scope of ministry.
Effective July 1, 2026, ACSI Asia Pacific implemented a revised CEC framework designed to align more closely with internationally recognized standards. This updated certification structure incorporates ACSI’s Global Core Standards, ensuring greater consistency, quality, and relevance for Christian educators serving in diverse educational contexts across the Asia Pacific region.
Effective July 1, 2026, the following policy of new ACSI types of certificates are in effect:
Early Ed. to Senior High School Principal / Kepala Sekolah KB – SMA [Eng | Ina]
Early Ed. Teacher / Guru KB [Eng | Ina]
Kindergarten – Elementary Teacher / Guru TK – SD [Eng | Ina]
Subject Teacher / Guru Mapel [Eng | Ina]
