What is the EYFS and why does it matter for nursery teachers abroad?
The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) is England's statutory framework for children from birth to 5.
Malaysia · Federal Territory
Train as a nursery teacher from Kuala Lumpur without travelling to a training centre. Study APTTI's NTT course online in your own time, then teach in private kindergartens (tadika) and other early-years settings.
The NTT course in Kuala Lumpur is studied online: Certificate after 10th (120 hours, 6 months), Diploma after 12th (200 hours, 10 months) or PG Diploma for graduates (240 hours, 12 months). Fees start at USD 170 (₹10,000 + GST). There is no entrance exam, you can start any time, and the certificate is posted to your Kuala Lumpur address.
Learners in Petaling Jaya, Cheras, Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Puchong and Setapak and across Federal Territory use the same online course: log in at any time, work through the modules and submit assignments to your tutor. You can practise with children where you already work, volunteer at a local playschool or nursery, or use activities at home.
Study is self-paced, so MYT (UTC+8) working hours make no difference. Assignments are in English; Malay, English, Chinese and Tamil can all be part of your classroom practice.
Trained nursery teachers in Kuala Lumpur work in private kindergartens (tadika), childcare centres, Montessori schools and international schools. Many also run home-based activity or phonics groups.
Malaysia's private kindergartens, childcare centres and international schools in the Klang Valley and Penang look for staff with early childhood training.
