End User Certification
The Apple Certified Pro program creates a benchmark for assessing an enduser’s proficiency in a specific Apple Pro application. By taking and passing the Apple Certified Pro exam, a user is given Apple Certified Pro status, which allows them to distinguish themselves to colleagues, employers, and prospective clients as skilled users of the chosen software application. This certification gives individuals a competitive edge in today’s ever-changing job market.
Trainer Certification
The Apple Certified Trainer (ACT) Program trains and qualifies industry professionals to deliver certified courses in Apple’s Pro applications: Aperture, Color, DVD Studio Pro, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Server, Logic Pro, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro. ACTs work with Apple Authorized Training Centers (AATCs) to deliver courses to end users from the most basic class to the most advanced.
Authorized Training Centers
These training centers have been carefully selected and have met Apple’s highest standards in all areas including: facility, instructors, course delivery and infrastructure. The goal of the Program is to offer Apple customers the highest-quality training experience; from the beginner up to the most seasoned Professional.
Find a Certified Professional
An Apple Certified Pro has demonstrated their operational knowledge of one of Apple’s Pro Applications. Users of Aperture, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro may obtain Certified Pro status by passing the corresponding exams for their chosen application. Some applications offer two levels of certification. Level 1 attests to the basic operational knowledge of the application. Level 2 attests to knowledge of more advanced features and a deeper understanding of the application. All users must demonstrate the requisite knowledge of the application to achieve their status.
