First, the obvious. Yes I'll check with Apple and their website, I'm mainly looking for other peoples opinions and/or input.
My shop has an immediate need for an Apple technician, and though I've never been a huge fan of Mac's it's something I've always wanted to do just to add to what I know and do. My company is footing the bill, so it seems like a good oppritunity for me.
I have a strong background in PC's, so the hardware end for me is no big deal. Most Macs (I know not all, i.e. the mini) break down on a similar component level. Apple's difference is mainly being proprietary with their stuff vs. PC's "off the shelf" parts.
The Apple OS is my weakness. I've got to learn the "in's and out's" here pretty fast. Are there any good books, or practice materials I can use.
I own a G3 running OS 10, so I'll dust that off and learn with it.
Cliffs:
So my main questions are:
How does one become "Apple certified" (if you answer and are certified, please say so)
Are there any good study materials, digital, written, or otherwise, to study with.
