macOS Architecture and Support

Mac computers are getting more and more popular everywhere we look – among the business crowd, in schools, and at home. It is quite common, however, that the users cannot really play on the platform's strengths. They know it only organically – learning macOS Sonoma capabilities as they go and try to do everyday tasks. This training has been designed to change that and prepare attendees to solve any problems that may arise. At the same time, while presenting the technical aspects, the course focuses on the larger picture, describing how and why things have been designed in a given way. This is the kind of expertise that is really lacking and not being offered by other courses available on the market.
