Certification

CTA Members believe strongly in the value of Apple Certifications.

There is no better way to tell the world that you really know what you are doing than to successfully achieve an Apple certification.

Unlike some industry certifications, which are too easy to get or too broad to be meaningful, Apple certifications really mean something. Apple's tests actually gauge your working knowledge of the core competencies of the subject matter. And the Apple courses CTA Members teach are designed to instill this working understanding of the materials covered - not just to help you pass the test.

This is a winning combination that adds real value in the work place.

Each CTA Member location offers both the hands-on Apple Certified Training to prepare for the certification, as well as the opportunity to take Apple Certification tests - onsite.
