Find a Certified Professional
An Apple Certified Pro has demonstrated their knowledge of an Apple Pro Application. Certified Pro status is earned by passing the corresponding exam for the chosen application. Some applications offer two levels of certification. Level One attests to the basic operational knowledge of the application. Level Two attests to knowledge of more advanced features and a deeper understanding of the application.
