Apple Certifications
-
First don't thrash me for all the Apple questions I will be asking. I have worked in IT over 15 years but always in the Windows world. Now I have been tasked by my boss to get some Apple experience. I will be going through the process of getting my OS X certs and then going after my ACMT. That way we can become a fully certified repair shop.
Other than using Apple's certified training, are there any other avenues out there?
-
Sounds like a great way to bring value and income to the business.
-
I think that is what my boss hopes.
I have a Macbook pro now in my possession so the learning starts tomorrow with the Yosemite update. I have an iPad and iPhone (provided by my day job) but have only used OSX a little here and there. Now the real learning begins.

I have a MacBook that I have had since January . I am still learning as I only use it when I travel not really part of my everyday usage.
I am looking at moving my company (GroveSocial) over to Mac so will be interested to see what you think once you really dive in.

Is it Danelle who's asking/telling you to learn OS X?

Yearly, I have checked this page: and found that both Resellers and Services Provider programs have this: "Apple is not currently accepting reseller or service provider applications. Please check the Apple Channel Programs page periodically for new information."

I plan to get a Mac this year. I have one but it is ancient at this point. I need something new(er) that will run Yosemite.

We aren't expecting to get reseller or even any referrals from them. Just being able to offer this to our current and possible client base.

@TechieChick so having the cert is all you need to work on Macs. I thought you had to join the Apple Channel program as an Apple Service Provider.
Bah...time to work on getting my certs too.I am tired of sending users to the Apple store.
-
oops with them.
I need an assistant to take dictation! -

I doubt that that alone allows you to do warranty repairs. That's something different.
