AppleCare Technician Training Kit

is available from Apple. Check it out at Apple's dedicated web site. The kit supplies all the information needed to pass the exam to become an Apple Certified Technician. There is no mention that the kit includes the exam fee. Hopefully, this will increase the pool of trained technicians and increase the availability of certified service beyond those authorized to do warranty repairs. The kit costs a hefty$299 with free UPS ground shipping at The Apple Store under AppleCare. I ordered a kit and will post a review when it arrives.
