Apple Certified Technical Coordinator (ACTC)

Apple Certified Technical Coordinator (ACTC) certification verifies a foundation in OS X and OS X Server core functionality and an ability to configure key services and perform basic troubleshooting of the essential OS X and OS X Server capabilities. The currently required exams are based on OS X and OS X Server v10.7.

Target Audience

The ACTC certification is intended for 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 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 Support Professional (ACSP) certification, which addresses solely 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.

Required exams

- OS X Support Essentials v.10.7
- OS X Server Essentials v.10.7

NOTE: Certification is valid for a specific version of OS X and OS X Server.
