Title Description
ACHDS
Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist v10.4

The Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist (ACHDS) 10.4 certification verifies an understanding of Mac OS X core functionality and an ability to configure key services, perform basic troubleshooting, and assist end users with essential Mac OS X capabilities. This certification addresses the technical skills needed by a Mac OS X specialist who works at a help desk or otherwise assists Mac OS X users with technical issues. The required exam is based on Mac OS X v10.4.

ACHDS certification is intended for Mac OS X help desk specialists, technical coordinators, service technicians, and others who support Mac OS X customers. Typical candidates for this certification are help desk personnel in businesses using Mac OS X systems for general productivity or creative design, service technicians who support Mac OS X customers, and technical coordinators or power users who manage networks of Mac OS X systems in their organizations — such as teachers and technology specialists who manage classroom networks or computer labs.

The Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.4 exam will be available through 2008.

ACTC
Apple Certified Technical Coordinator v10.4
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.

This certification is not intended for high-end systems administrators or engineers, but may be an excellent step to take on an intended career path to system administration.

Requirements:

Candidates for ACTC certification are required to pass two exams:

* Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.4 Exam (9L0-401) -- $150USD

Covers a practical knowledge of the core functionality of Mac OS X 10.4 and the basics of managing Mac OS X client systems running Mac OS X version 10.4.

For specific exam objectives, see the Skills Assessment Guide for the Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.4 Exam. For an example of exam question types, see the Sample Test.
