Mac OS X Certifications
Apple's Mac OS X Certifications are designed for IT professionals who: 

  • Support Mac OS X users in a business, education institution or school district
  • Manage networks of Mac OS X systems in an organisation — for example, a teacher or a technology specialist who manages classroom networks or computer labs
  • Manage complex, multi-platform networks that include Mac OS X systems

Apple offers Mac OS X Certification tracks for both Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard offerings include new Specialist certifications for the ACSA-level Directory Services, Deployment and Security and Mobility exams.
