I'm 16. Ok so I see your already thinking, ok, next! But, it's true. I have a Mac. I'm good at Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista. I'm on my way to opening a business (in the UK) the normal computer repair sortta of business. I was thinking of getting Microsoft and Apple Certitifaction. Enough about Microsoft for now.

I'm seeing if anyone has done the Apple Help desk Specialist course, and seeing what material I might need to make sure I pass the exam.

Also what my options are if I complete this exam.

And the training material such as MA714Z/A in Apple Store would be the material for the same thing. I have not done those certifications in UK which is one of the reasons I can't suggest you a particular training center for it.

You are 16. What are you going to do with the certification? Most of them expire in 12 months, or need a renewal, so if you consider having them now to get value of them after you finish college, I'd wait for a bit. The certifications will be most value for one who has them when they are fresh and applied to related fields. So for instance help desk coordinator, system administrator, mac os x training, trainer certification, portables certification will be valuable now if you'll be actively using them to get something or get you somewhere with them with the next 12 months.

this is the one you need to buy, but i dont think its called the adhst anymore

Actually a quick update - of the ones that do the trainings in UK I would probably recommend Amsys. They do training all over UK (and on specific courses, so e.g. they shipped a trainer for our IT department for Mac OS X training from London)
