Well, that time of year, when the powers that be are looking at budgets
and asking for input on training that I'd like to take this year (no
guarantees, but they're trying to forecast).
With the changes since 10.7 came out, the waters are a little murky, so
I thought I'd ask for recommendations.
Title-wise, I'm primarily "The" Mac Sys admin, in a group that really
doesn't have all that many Macs anymore. I do administer our Apple SUS,
as well as a couple of other xServes, workstations are all tied to AD,
no OD in the mix. I'm responsible for patching/updating/packaging,
although a fair bit of my job is non-Mac related at all. I've been
using Macs since the 80's, am reasonably comfortable in GUI and CLI
(although my scripting skills are weak, in my mind), generally know
enough to get myself in trouble but don't actually have *any*
certifications from Apple, and work wants that to change. I was all set
to take the Final Cut Server exam earlier this year, but Apple's move
away from it right after I took the course killed that plan.
Looking at http://training.apple.com/certification/macosx, does the ACSP
look like the most sense? Or ACTC? I may take the Apple Certified
Associate - Mac Integration Basics exam this weekend just for fun -
looks like I should be able to pass that one easily enough, but there
are some sections that may be good refreshers.
thoughts?
