No ACTC 10.9 Certification?

[Yebubbleman]

So, if you go to http://training.apple.com/certification/osxmav
you only see the Apple Certified Associate - Mac Integration Basics 10.9 certification based on the Mac Integration Basics 10.9 White Paper, and the Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) 10.9 certification based on the OS X Support Essentials 10.9 book, which was recently released.

The OS X Server Essentials 10.9 book was also recently released around the same time, yet, the Apple Certified Technical Coordinator (ACTC) 10.9 certification is notably absent from this list? Is Apple not offering it?

I know that with Mountain Lion certifications, Mac Integration Basics appeared before ACSP 10.8 and ACTC 10.8 certifications did, but, if memory serves, they later appeared around the same time and that their appearance coincided with the books being released.

Does anyone have any insight on this? It'd be useful to know whether or not I should spend $60 on the Server Essentials book. Any info on this would be helpful. Thanks.

It's probably on Apple's to-do list.

Maybe call up one of the training / test centers and ask if they know when it's coming?

Amsys, the UK Apple cert provider already has it, next course 23rd Jan.

My experience of Apple certs is that if you buy the book, read it cover to cover and can answer the end of chapter quizzes the test will be a breeze.

Apple just updated its site to reflect that it is now offering it. Phew! Was afraid that they'd be discontinuing that cert just like that did ACSA.
