macOS certifications
A macOS certification recognizes an individual's ability to
manage and support macOS in stand-alone systems and networked computers in an
organization. As is Apple's tradition, operating system certifications are
available for the two most current editions of the operating system, which are
currently macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra.

The ACSP is all about installing, configuring, and

certification focuses on tasks related to networking. This certification covers
connecting to directory services; creating network accounts; setting up file
sharing and printing; configuring email, contacts, and calendar access;
configuring security, and managing networked data.
Apple operating system certifications have no prerequisites.
Exams for the ACSP are available only through an Apple Authorized Training
Center, but candidates can sign up for all other exams through Pearson VUE, an
Apple Authorized Training Center, or online. Online test-taking is limited to
certain exams, such as the Apple Certified Associate – Mac Integration Basics
10.13. Users who are new to the Mac ecosystem can learn the basics from a
variety of online training resources available at the Apple Support Training
website.

The concept of "performing repairs" on Apple
products may be confusing. The company points out that achieving the ACMT
certification verifies that you have the skills to repair Apple products, but
certification alone doesn't mean you're authorized to make such repairs. For
that, you'll need to become an Apple Authorized Service Provider, which
establishes a business relationship with Apple. However, Apple has a
self-servicing program in which participants, such as schools, are allowed to
service and repair Apple products they own at their sites.
Our Apple
Certified Technical Coordinator skills page features the ACMT as one of
the top five hardware-related certifications and provides a more detailed look
at this certification and its requirements.
