 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.

macOS Sierra certifications

·       Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) 10.13

·       Apple Certified Associate – Mac Integration Basics 10.13

macOS High Sierra certifications

·       Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) 10.13

·       Apple Certified Associate – Mac Integration Basics 10.13

The ACSP is all about installing, configuring, and troubleshooting macOS. The Apple Certified Associate – Mac Integration Basics 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.

AppleCare service certifications

The AppleCare Certified Mac Technician (ACMT) credential focuses on troubleshooting and repair of Macintosh desktop and laptop computers and displays, as well as troubleshooting Mac operating system issues.

The Apple Certified iOS Technician (ACiT) certification recognizes required skills for servicing iOS-based devices, such as iPhones and iPads. Both certifications require two exams (available through Pearson VUE), and neither certification expires.

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.
