I'm going to the UK with Mac certification in hand
Hi all, just recently got my ACSP (Apple Certified Support Professional) Mac OS X Leopard 10.5. This is the one they used to call Apple "Helpdesk" certification.
I've been working at an Apple Premium Reseller in Malaysia and I'll be heading to the UK in a few weeks time.
A few questions.
What are your opinions of Apple Store London? Brent Cross? Have you tried Albion Computers, and/or PopXpress?
I'm more interested in the retail consumer side of things, I find it more interesting.
Any opinions, rants/ raves welcome. Thanks much.
BTW, I'm a Malaysian citizen, Australian permanent resident, English as first language.

That (plus some money) will also qualify you for Apple Consultant's Network if you want to strike out on your own.
So, on to teh future! Lol. Yeah I need to get some of the certification stuff listed online or something. Thanks for the reminder.
If you're up to the challenge, and you love to be in working in a busy environment, then you'll love it
The main thing that strikes me about the Regent Street store is that it is *constantly* busy. Busy as in absolutely swarming with people. It's a great buzz you get from being in that atmosphere with all those people, but I expect it could be pretty stressful to work there.

Interesting point, I'll have to scope it out. Apple Store official has several other stores in and around London. There's also Premium Resellers and Authorised Resellers... Could be intense at Regent Street, yeah.
If you have Australian residency, have you considered applying for the Apple retail stores to open in Sydney and Melbourne? I believe they are still considering applications and if you have a certification I'm sure you can be fast-tracked. The Sydney store will be one of their showcase stores.
I'm avoiding Australia at the moment ... Sydney Apple Store is going to be off the charts though, it is a great city. Thanks for the suggestion... I'll have to see how things go in t3h Britannia.

How did you go about getting the ACSP?

I got my brother to buy the PeachPit book http://training.apple.com/selfpaced/ for the ACSP. Read through it while playing http://www.zombiepanic.org/site/index.php
Also Apple Malaysia did a few days of training for the exam. Did the exam a month later through Prometric (about 2 hours objective, 90 questions)...
