The High Sierra 10.13 Bootcamp is a combined delivery of the Apple authorized Sierra 101 and Sierra 201 courses. This hands-on course provides an in-depth exploration of functionality and troubleshooting on macOS and the best methods for effectively supporting users of macOS systems.
This course also gives technical coordinators and entry-level system administrators the skills, tools, and knowledge to implement and maintain a network that uses macOS Server. Students learn how to install and configure macOS Server to provide network-based services, such as file sharing and authentication. Tools for efficiently managing and deploying macOS and software updates are also covered.
For Students Enrolled in a Virtual Class:
Each student will need a setup with three (3) devices in order to take the class virtually. One device may be a Mac or iPad, while the other 2 must be Macs with the correct software (and version) being taught in the course already installed. This setup will allow virtual students to view the presentation on one computer and complete support exercises on the other two.
