Our Mac OS Basics training course covers the basic interface, productivity operations, and system setup and personalization. Our advanced training course takes it a step further by going into detail on maintenance, application installation and configuration, inter-platform compatibility, and a comparison of added value products, as well as the difference between PowerPC/Sparc, Intel-based, and new Apple-silicon devices and equipment, and what to anticipate.

For users migrating to or from the Apple ecosystem, we offer migration training, which will introduce users to the differences between the Microsoft and Apple methods, and the best practices for each, and down the middle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a training course isn't filled to capacity?

If a training course isn’t at capacity at least one-week before the expected date of training, users with training booked on that date will have the option to be refunded or reschedule at a later date.

What's your refund policy?

Unfortunately, except as listed above, we can not offer refunds or returns on our pre-booked training services. Additionally, if you are not able to attend your booked date, you will not be able to receive a refund – though we will offer you a discount on rebooking, or pro-bono course seat, at our circumstantial discretion.

I'd like to be trained on something, but I don't see it listed here?

We’re able to modify and customize our training courses, or develop new ones, specific to you or your business requirements. Additionally, we can offer training on specific equipment, business processes, auditing and performance tasks, and other non-technology exclusive scopes of work, that fall within the realm of our business strategy.
