Hi fangirl, I teach mac and offer it as an accessible technology on my web site. I've never had formal training on mac systems but I feel confident offering mac training because I follow these groups an use one every day. I know most things about macs that an off-netter would want to know. I walked into an apple store and asked where to go to get voiceover certified so that I could work for the apple store doing voiceover training and they referred me to a third party training centre. I haven't followed up with them since the standards are so low here that anyone can train and I don't want to fork out thousands of dollars on training courses for the paltry dollars that are actually being paid for trainers. It's a sad situation we have here, but I hope others have better luck.
