For persons not employed by an AASP or SSA, attaining ACDT certification verifies skills and knowledge that may be sought by a prospective employer, such as an Apple Reseller or a self-servicing entity like a school system.
ACDT certification is valid for one year from the date of certification. Apple requires technicians employed by AASPs or SSAs to recertify annually in order to repair in-warranty desktop products. Persons not employed by an AASP or SSA are not required to recertify, however, Apple recommends that people stay current with their certifications by taking the annual recertification exams. |
