Certifications are available for all applications, including Aperture, Color, DVD Studio Pro, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Server, Logic Pro, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro.
Apple Certified Pro – Level One attests to basic operational knowledge of an application. Level One exams are administered at the end of specific courses. If you prefer to learn on your own or believe you already have the required knowledge, you may take the exam at an Apple Authorized Training Center (AATC) for a fee.
Apple Certified Pro – Level Two attests to a deeper understanding of the application. Level Two exams can be taken only after Level One certification is earned.
Many Apple Certification exams are available in other languages, such as Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Even if an AATC does not offer localized courses, they can still offer localized exams..
