Apple Training Series: iWork ’09 is part of the official training series for Apple applications, developed by experts in the field and certified by Apple. The lessons are designed to let you learn at your own pace. If you follow the book from start to finish, or at least complete the lessons in each section consecutively, you will build on what you learned in previous lessons.
Apple offers Associate-level certification for the iWork ’09 product suite. Professionals, educators, and students can earn Apple Certified Associate status to validate entry-level skills in our digital lifestyle and productivity applications. As a special offer, this Apple Training Series book includes a discount code that lets you take the certification exam online for $45 (a $65 value). Details appear on the DVD.
For those who prefer to learn in an instructor-led setting, Apple also offers training courses that lead to certification at Apple Authorized Training Centers worldwide in iLife, iWork, Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, and Apple’s Pro applications.
These courses are taught by Apple Certified Trainers. They balance concepts and lectures with hands-on labs and exercises.
