Apple Certified Technical Coordinator 10.4
Leopard Certification Now Available
With the arrival of Mac OS X Leopard, we are pleased to announce updated certifications. Learn more about Apple Certified Technical Coordinator 10.5 certification.
Apple Certified Technical Coordinator (ACTC) certification verifies a foundation in Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server core functionality and an ability to configure key services and perform basic troubleshooting of the essential Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server capabilities. The currently required exams are based on Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server v10.4.
Who Should Seek ACTC Certification?
The ACTC certification is intended for Mac OS X technical coordinators and entry-level system administrators tasked with maintaining a modest network of computers using Mac OS X Server. Since the ACTC certification addresses both the support of Mac OS X clients and the core functionality and use of Mac OS X Server, the learning curve is correspondingly longer and more intensive than that for the Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist (ACHDS) certification, which addresses solely Mac OS X client support.
Required Exams
- Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.4 Exam
(9L0-401)
Recommended Preparation
- Mac OS X Server Essentials v10.4 Exam
(9L0-507)
ACTC 10.4 certification is granted upon successful completion of both exams listed above.
