Apple makes available to interested persons a training/certification process that you must pay for in order to receive the materials. I believe that the cost is still around $300US for the packet. The program is less expensive than the cost of textbooks on MS products and is easier to understand and put to use. I purchased my packet directly from Apple years ago and use the knowledge in recycling Macintosh computers for school usage. You are encouraged to study at a regular pace and when you feel that you have completed the study program, you can take the examination at the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino or in other locations when exams are scheduled there. I do not know whether an exam would ever be scheduled in your area. Good luck.
