MESA, Arizona — Feb. 5, 2025 — Students have until March 17 to enroll in the Mesa Community College Jamf Training Foundation (BCP265) for this spring semester. Following a successful debut in fall 2024, the industry-leading training course, which runs for eight weeks, produced impressive certification completion results. Nine of nine students earned Jamf Certified Associate certifications in Jamf Pro and Jamf Protect and eight are now Jamf Certified Technicians.
“With these certificates, some of these graduates have upskilled their positions and others have the opportunity to apply for internships, with the potential to progress into apprenticeships and IT administration and security roles in the rapidly growing field of device management,” said Suraj Mohandas, Ph.D., Vice President of Strategy, Jamf.
Jamf is an instructor-led, hands-on program designed to teach the skills needed to manage, secure and support Apple devices. The training offers a core understanding of Jamf Pro and Jamf Protect as well as an enterprise-focused examination of the macOS, iOS and iPadOS platforms. The example-based learning environment provides experience in the configuration of Jamf Pro, Jamf Protect, device enrollment, distributing App Store apps, building and managing packages to deploy to computers, configuration and settings for computers and mobile devices, device security, a scripting overview (Bash) and an introduction to the security standards.
MCC student Jackson Mirich earned Jamf certification in the Fall 2024 semester. Previously he earned an AppleCare Certificate of Completion and received information about the availability of Jamf certifications.

My Thoughts
Working in the Maricopa Community Colleges’ marketing and communications team has deepened my passion for public relations and strategic storytelling. I enjoy collaborating on press releases, feature stories, and public-facing content that highlight the achievements of our students, faculty, and campus community.
Contributing to stories like MCC’s Jamf training foundation program reinforces why I chose this field—to inform the public, build trust, and connect people through clear and engaging communication. Being part of this work is both meaningful and rewarding.
