ACMT Re-Certification Question

You should re-certify before your subsciptions runs out. You can re-certify starting 60 days before the end of your certification, so you should be able to certify for two years with just one subscription.

In any case, I don't think you'll have access to technical manuals without proper GSX access (you get one when you work at an AASP), and starting this year, they are essential to the hardware exam.

If you work for an AASP with a GSX contract, you will have access to the training materials on the GSX site. If not, contact svc.trng@apple.com and ask them.

The training materials are available on the GSX site. However GSX was updated to GSX2 this week and I can't find them.

Some advice: Do not initially certify just after October. The new tests come out Oct. 15 every year. The trianing material usually comes out early Oct. I inadvertently did this and so every year, I can't get the materials until Oct and have to take the test between Oct 15 and Nov 11 (I first certified Nov 11). I try to recertify before the deadline and so each year I lose a couple of days. This year I have to recertify after Oct 15 but before Nov 5. So, do your initial certifications before Oct 15 or a couple of months after. I will likely have to recertify twice this year to change my date. I'll probably do it again in Nov or Dec. so it is after the new test come out, but not to far after, so I am still somewhat current.

I found the training materials on the GSX2 for those of you with GSX access.

Click on Resources (upper lefthand side), and the scroll all the way down (on the lefthand side) to Quick Links. The training info is there.

If you have access to GSX2 you would go to article: AppleCare Service Training: Getting Certified. This article will provide you with the training exams needed and the links for those exams. You can also contact certifications@apple.com to receive this information.
