Apple Certified System Administrator (ACSA) is an Apple Computer designed certification program to verify an in-depth knowledge of Apple technical architecture. An ACSA will have demonstrated the ability to install and configure Mac OS X systems, as well as the ability to design and configure networks; enable, customize, tune, and troubleshoot a wide range of services; and integrate Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, and other Apple technologies within a multi-platform networked environment.
The ACSA is currently available for Mac OS X v10.4 and Xsan Administration, as the Mac OS X v10.3 test was phased out in December, 2005.
For OS X 10.4, the ACSA program has been revised to focus on individual job functions. ACSA exams are now elective and the certification program can be structured to meet the needs of the individual. Each passed exam earns a specialization certificate and a specific number of credits towards the ACSA certification. When a candidate accumulates a total of seven certification credits, certification is granted.
To achieve an ACSA, new candidates may take any of the following exams to earn the seven required certification credits:
- Mac OS X Deployment v10.4 Exam (9L0-609) -- 2 credits
- Xsan Administration v1.1 Exam (9L0-610) -- 3 credits
- Security Best Practices v10.4 Exam (9L0-612) -- 3 credits
For update certification, persons who are already ACSA certified for OS X 10.3 are automatically certified for the new ACSA program. Certification will expire for these individuals two years after the date the ACSA 10.3 exams were taken. The candidate will then need to replace expired credits with the new ACSA elective exams to maintain the required seven credits.
