Same as wagnerk said. Soon as I'm finished with MS certs and my local college has switched to prometric.
I've got two books, 'Desktop and Portable Systems' and 'Mac OS X Support Essentials'. Only had a skim through quickly but looks to be well written.
My interest has largely come from my positive experience moving over to a macbook as my primary pc at home. Even if Macs aren't in use at the next company I work for I still figure knowledge of the Unix stuff in Mac OS X as something useful to have.
I've supported Macs before, but only rarely... for three client companies, each having a small handful (single-digit numbers) of Macs. As a result, I don't have a great need or desire to certify on it.
I am somewhat interested in taking the course for Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist. I always think about it but at the moment I dont have the need to support mac's as the company I work for is 100% windows based.
Maybe somewhere down the line I'll start studying for it.
My best memories go out to nights that turned into mornings and the friends that turned into family.

I've just got a job today and it requires me to deal with apple computers 99% of my time. I thought it might help me out to prove myself better in the company and get some good performance reviews by the end of probation period if I get certified. Has anybody ever started working on these certifications? If so, what would you recommend as studying material?
I know this is an old thread but if you do want any more information about these qualifications I can respond as I do have the ACHDS and will get the ACSA eventually for 10.4 also.. (Even though 10.5 is almost out).
I self studied for the ACHDS and used a Peachpit Press book to do this as these are the only officially validated books by Apple (Look for Peachpit Press on Amazon or by Author of Schoun Regan)...
Worth doing, as its something a little different..
An I.T. job is tough, when everything works fine, you never hear anything from anyone, but the moment it goes wrong, you hear everything from everyone!
