Free Apple Certification Training

Anyone know of any good tutorial training or free online training to become a certified Apple technician?
I would like to start studying to become one, as I love all apple products and I would love to join the team of an Apple store or training center.
Or if you know of any well rated programs (such as Video Tutorials on Lynda.com) let me know about them.

Technician training couldn't hurt, but being certified will not get you the ability to do warranty repairs or get parts from Apple, if that's what you were thinking. You would have to be employed by an authorized Apple service center for that. So unless you plan to look for a job with a service center, becoming certified is perhaps not a good use of your time and money unless you just want to be able to tell people you're certified even though you can't do warranty work or get parts.
You can buy Apple's Technician Training materials even if you don't intend to pursue certification, but you can probably find most if not all of that information elsewhere at lower cost or for free.
Regards.

ACMT Apple certification training in UK

Hi,
I'm based in London, UK and am seriously thinking of taking the ACMT apple certification qualification in order to become a
Mac Technician.
As I am reluctant to pay £2500 for the 8 day course I am thinking of buying the £209 technician self learn course
and then take the 2 (Hardware & software) exams at a prometric exam centre.
I have read all the info on the apple site but it seems to relate mainly to the US and not the UK.
My queries are as follows:
1. Is there any one out there who has qualified in this way and is working as an apple technican - if so how did it compare to taking an 8 day course ?
2. What other qualifications are useful (ie. essential) in order to make oneself more attractive to an employer ?
3. Is it possible to just take the 2 prometric exams in the UK after self learning (which only cost about £100 each) and if so where ?
I can't find anywhere so far where I can just take the exams in the UK.
4. What are my chances of getting work with just the ACMT qualification ?
(I have a great deal of experience as an end user using Logic and Final Cut Pro over the last 15 years, troubleshooting my own macs over the years and want to diversify my skills by getting freelance work)
5. How is it possible to self learn and take the hardware exam if you don't have access to all types of macs ?
(I have G4 powerbook, mac book pro, G5, Mac Mini) On the website it says you can self learn but seriously, is it really possible on your own ?
Hope some kind souls out there can help me with these dilemmas !
thanks very much

What does this include? The hardware and software certifications?
It doesn't include any certifications at all, per se. It includes the material to train you to take the Service (i.e. repair technician) Certification which consists of the Apple Macintosh Service Exam and the Mac OS X v10.5 Troubleshooting Exam. How effective the training in the kit you mention is I don't know since I've never seen that particular kit.
It gives you access to a bunch of resources on the web. Would this be worth the money spent on it?
That's up to you and what you hope to achieve.
would it be better to get the peachpit books and learn from there.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe that the Peachpit books cover the technician training.
And only take the support professional test. I guess what I'm asking is the technician training from apple worth it?
Again, it depends on what your personal and professional goals are. If you hope to get employed by an Apple service center as a repair tech, then taking the technician training and passing the tests would certainly be a leg up. If you are instead hoping to get into software support, server management, etc. then the other training and certifications might be of more benefit. If this is for personal use only and you're not hoping to find a job doing this, then the training material might be worthwhile but paying for the certification tests probably wouldn't be worth the money.

Anyone study Apple Pro Training Series SP 2 without Final Cut Pro app?

Hi Guys,
I have Soundtrack Pro 2. It came with the Logic Pro Studio bundle. I want to get the certification for SP 2. I just opened the SP 2 Apple Pro Training Series book and the first directions are to open +Final Cut Pro+ to convert the .fcp file in the lesson folder to a .stmp file to use in SP 2.
I don't have Final Cut Pro. Am I dead in the water? How does someone who got SP 2 via purchasing Logic Pro Studio follow this book, since Final Cut Pro doesn't come with the Logic bundle?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light!

I'm checking back in here and bumping this thread up hoping someone from Apple might throw in a reply here. I've spent the last few days on the net seeking out anyone else who ran into this problem and I've discovered there are quite a few others running into this issue. How is someone who purchased STP with Logic Studio supposed to get certified? Why doesn't Apple let people know about this before they purchase the product? If they weren't aware of it before (I've been told Apple has now been notified of the issue), why isn't Apple addressing this and providing a workaround?
Anyone from Apple out there?

I need to do sap sd certification ,training for same is very costly from authorised center and i canot afford ,the other way is i do training from unauthorised center and take certification exam in any country where prerequisite is not doing training

i need to do sap sd certification ,training for same is very costly from authorised center and i canot afford ,the other way is i do training from unauthorised center and take certification exam in any country where prerequisite is not doing training from authorised center.how good it it to do prepare from unauthorised center and take exam in any country like australia ,US ?please help understand .

Hi Preeti,
please first understand the difference between a subject (your header) and its body line, please never write so long subject matter.
Now coming to your queries , what you thinks being at Australia or US is free of Cost. The first thing is that i don't understand your mission for taking Certifications, Are you a working proffesional because for more than 2 yrs. of working experience, you don't need any training , you can take direct examinations.
And if you are not a working professional, i don't thing taking any certification will serve any purpose in your job hunt, although it will enrich your Resume only, you will nothing get out of this from just taking a vertification
So, please tell us that you are a fresher or having real time working exposure in SAP SD module, then any one will guide you well.

What apple certification should I start with?

What apple certification should I start with?
I am confused with which certifications I should work on first to be able to work as a technician and application support individual.

I would start with the basic Mac Integration. It's a quick and easy test to see if you know the basics. If you can pass this, then move foward from there.
Do you plan on taking clases or self study?

Just to eliminate the possibility of a bad drive or wonky connection, try running a disk throughput test.
Do you have the AJA drive test app? If not, it can be found on their website under the Kona 3 tools and utilities (AJA System Test).
Download it and run it to test the throughput of the drive.
For an internal sata drive with a lot of free space, you should see read/write speeds well in excess of 80 MB/s.

Sorry, no way around this limitation on an iOS device. To use a new iCloud account, you need to create such on a computer first, then setup the account on your iOS device.

I have exceeded creating Free Apple ID account on my device

Upon activation of my ipod touch 4 last year, i have several errors encountered in creating my apple ID account. As I remember, I have created 3 accounts without verifications. Today, I was about to create another one because I will be using my activated apple account on my iphone, my device prompted me that I already exceeded creation Free apple Id account on my device (ipod). What advice can you give me regarding this? Thanks!

And what do I have to do if I am the 5-th owner of the device, and each of the previous owners have been created an apple ID for themeselves. WHAT TO DO NOW ? Shouldn't I have my own ID ?

Hi i do not have a job or bank account. i am a student. how can i create a free apple account. without giving a credit or debit card number.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The link that rmgman gave has instructions for how to create an account without giving credit card details - if you use them when creating an account then you will be able to download items from the store without having to give card details.

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

how to create a free apple id without puttin in the cridit card info?
Card type "None" option is not available

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To be able to download free apps without a recognised method of payment or gift card.
Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

Free Quicktime video training

My boss wants to develop some in-house tutorials on how to PDF a file, etc.
We thought Quicktime could record whatever we do on screen as well as our voices explaining what we're doing.
Is there a place where we could find free online video training to learn Quicktime?
Everything I found was for version 5 under OS9. We are running version 7.
Any help will be appreciated.
Alphawolf7

Most of us "pro's" use screen capture software like Snapz Pro X to capture the screen and built in audio (via the built in or an external microphone). QuickTime 7 Pro (Mac version) can be used to do a one click recording but it can't capture the screen.
