ML101+201: Mountain Lion BootCamp (San Francisco, CA)

The Apple Certified Technical Coordinator (ACTC) 10.8 Boot Camp is a combined delivery of the Mountain Lion 101 and Mountain Lion 201 courses. This hands-on course provides an in-depth exploration of functionality and troubleshooting in OS X and the best methods for effectively supporting users of OS X systems.

This course also gives technical coordinators and entry-level system administrators the skills, tools, and knowledge to implement and maintain a network that uses OS X Server. Students learn how to install and configure OS X Server to provide network-based services, such as file sharing, authentication, and printing. Tools for efficiently managing and deploying OS X and software updates are also covered.

Who Should Attend

This course is a compressed delivery of 2 courses, and should be attended only by those who are already familiar with the concepts and comfortable working at a quick pace. ACTC Bootcamp is designed for help desk specialists, technical coordinators, service technicians, and entry-level system administrators who implement and maintain networks using OS X Server or support Mac users, technical support personnel in businesses that use Mac computers for general productivity or creative design, and technical coordinators or power users who manage networks of computers running OS X — such as teachers and technology specialists who manage classroom networks or computer labs.
