This article discusses the trainee teachers’ curriculum at the Sultan Idris Training College (SITC) since its establishment in 1922 until the outbreak of World War II. In addition, this article also discusses the curriculum's impact on the trainees. The research objective is to examine the curriculum and subjects taught to the trainees in order to teach the teaching knowledge, especially to the Malay community. This research used the qualitative method based on the library sources by focusing on the Annual Report and Memorandum as the primary sources. The research found that the curriculum for the trainees at SITC is such a providing continuity about a better basic life in the village. However, the curriculum was balanced by the academic-based curriculum in the classroom as a preparation for the trainees to become a teacher in the future. Furthermore, the research also found that there was a significant impact between the curriculum and the trainees where it has gone far beyond what the British had planned for the college.
