Apple ACSA Certification

[itry2hide]

Just some brief background in order to understand where I'm coming from.

For the fast 3.5 years, I worked in the e-learning industry. My company was specifically focused on networking infrastructure, training people to become MCSE's, CNE's, CCNP's, etc.

Unfortunately, I was restructured (layed off) three weeks ago. I'm considering taking my Mac knowledge and becoming an Apple ACSA. I do have questions ;).

1. For people in the Mac networking industry, is the ACSA something that is discussed as valuable?
2. Consulting Firms-would the ACSA certification be something you could use in deploying Mac based solutions?
3. Is anyone in this forum considering getting their ACSA?
4. What other forums could I go to that discuss OS Server?

Thanks for any help. I am already 1/2 way to completing my Oracle OCP. I'm thinking, with the port of 9i to the Mac server platform, having the ACSA would be a good thing.

Thanks again - Steve

Well, I can't say I've been overly impressed with any certification program in 7 years as an independent consultant in the industry. Accept no substitues for experience. I guess it depends on the clientele, though. Some are a bit snobbish that way. Not in the Mac market, though.

For OS X Server sites, AFP548 (http://www.afp548.com/) is a nice one.
