Apple has launched two professional training and certification programs to teach IT workers, as well as anyone interested in pursuing a career in IT, how to deploy, manage, and support iPhones, Macs, and other Apple devices in the workplace.

The courses are sequentially titled Apple Device Support and Apple Deployment and Management.

The Apple Device Support course covers tools, services, and best practices for Apple products, with approximately 14 hours of content, according to the company.

People taking part will have to take an exam to earn certification and move on to the next course.
