News From the Mac Aid World

As well as demonstrating to our clients and potential clients that we have the appropriate skills and expertise to be recognised by the program, the Apple Consultants Network will assist in the professional development of our staff. The information and seminars offered by the program will help us stay up to date with Apple technologies, and how they can apply to our clients and potential clients. We believe professional development is vital to train, maintain and retain quality staff and effectively look after our clients.

The ACN will also help us to offer our unique mix of skills and expertise to a wider section of the Apple user community.

This is an exciting development for Mac Aid. For more information on the Apple Consultants Network program, visit
