Apple Certified Technical Coordinator 10.4

Mac OS X v10.4 exams will be retired on October 31, 2009. Be sure to update your Mac OS X certifications!

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)
  • Mac OS X Server Essentials v10.4 Exam
    (9L0-507)

ACTC 10.4 certification is granted upon successful completion of both exams listed above.
