What is an Apple certified technician?
Independent Repair Provider Program
The Independent Repair Provider program is designed for
companies interested in offering out-of-warranty repair service for iPhone and
Mac. Qualifying companies can gain access to Apple genuine parts, tools,
training, service guides, diagnostics, and resources to perform a variety of
out-of-warranty repairs for iPhone and Mac, such as iPhone display and battery
replacements, and Mac logic board and video card replacements.
Who can apply?
Companies interested in performing out-of-warranty iPhone or
Mac repairs directly to end users may apply. Apple will not consider applicants
that use Apple trademark terms as part of any company name or web pages unless
such use complies with the Apple Trademark Terms.
Parts resellers and distributors are not eligible for this
program. Authorized Apple Resellers are not eligible for this program but may
apply to the Apple Authorized Service Provider program.
What are the
requirements?
Business and operational requirements
Companies applying are required to be an established
business, with business verification documents available for review by Apple.
Apple’s repair tools, training, service guides, and diagnostics must be kept
confidential.
Premises
Eligible companies must maintain a commercial walk-in
service location in an easily accessible location. A residential address is not
acceptable as a service location.
Technician
Certification
Participating service companies using Apple genuine parts
are required to have Apple-certified technicians perform the repairs.
Becoming certified to repair Apple products requires passing
exams through an online Authorized Testing Center. Certifications are updated
on a per-product basis annually. The certification exam fees are waived for
businesses that have been approved to be Independent Repair Providers.
To Apply
We are currently accepting applications from businesses in
the United States. Please submit an email with a completed Independent Repair
Provider Notification of Interest form to IRPapplicant@apple.com. You will be
asked to provide relevant information about your business so that Apple can
determine whether your organization is eligible for the Independent Repair
Provider program.
