Welcome to the Jamf 100 Course.
This is Nate, coming to you from Jamf.
In this introduction, we'll explore the content and purpose of this course.
The Jamf 100 Course is the first of four sequential Jamf Pro courses.
The 100 is completely online and is available in English, German, French, Japanese, and
Spanish.
This course provides foundational information about macOS, iOS and iPadOS, and a broad understanding
of the management capabilities available using Jamf Pro and mobile device management.
The content in this course is built upon by our in-person, instructor-led courses, starting
with the Jamf 200 Course.
Jamf offers four courses total - the 100, 200, 300 and 400.
For more information about all of our courses visit jamf.com/training.
The Jamf 100 Course is divided into eight sections.
First is the overview, where we are currently located.
Section 2 covers competencies for Apple’s mobile operating system iOS, including setup,
navigating the user interface, and configuring settings.
From there we’ll move to Section 3, where we'll explore macOS by completing Setup Assistant,
managing files, installing apps, and using the command-line interface to automate tasks.
After we've established some familiarity with the platforms we'll be managing, we'll log
in to Jamf Pro in Section 4, where we can integrate Apple services like Apple School
Manager and Apple Business Manager, create users and groups, set up PreStages, and allow
users to enroll their devices and computers in our server.
From there we’ll move to Section 5, where we’ll take a broad but comprehensive look
at managing mobile devices with Jamf Pro.
We’ll perform simple and advanced searches, create groups, read inventory records, and
deploy configuration profiles and apps.
Section 6 involves managing computers with Jamf Pro.
Here, we'll also perform searches, create groups, read records, enforce settings with
configuration profiles and deploy apps.
We'll also take a look at configuring and deploying policies automatically and through
Self Service.
In Section 7, we can reflect on what we’ve learned and prepare for next steps, one of
which may include taking the Jamf Certified Associate Exam.
An overview of what's included on the exam and a practice exam is available in Section
8.
If you're interested in certification, it is available for purchase in English, German,
French, Japanese, and Spanish in Section 8 or from the sidebar.
The exam includes 60 multiple choice questions.
If certification is awarded, a badge will be added to your Jamf Nation Profile and a
certificate is issued to you.
As a reminder, the exam is based entirely on the content in the Jamf 100 Course.
This course has a total of 40 lessons, and each lesson follows a similar format.
Below the lesson title we establish our goal - what we hope to accomplish in this lesson.
Under the goal is a short video taught by Jamfs from around the world who go through
the content of this lesson in a little more detail.
Underneath that, our key points contain important information called out in the video for reference
now or in the future.
We have review questions to reinforce some of the content covered above, and finally
a few practical tasks for those hands-on learners with access to a test or development instance
of Jamf Pro, and I say test because we do not recommend performing these tasks in your
production or day to day server.
We wrap up most lessons with relevant resources for further investigation on the topics covered.
A few words on navigation.
At the bottom we can move throughout the course with our directional arrows.
The side bar to the left is used to navigate between sections and lessons.
On the course introduction page we have access to the German, French, Japanese, and Spanish
versions of the 100.
Finally, theres a search function at the top of the screen.
This will follow us as we navigate the interface.
On a final note, the 100 course does follow a structure.
Lessons build on each other throughout.
It is, however, self-paced, and if time is a concern or you would just like to cover
content for, say, iOS, we encourage you to explore content that is relevant to your interests.
Perhaps your macOS and iOS knowledge is solid, but Jamf Pro and mobile device management
is unfamiliar territory - feel free to dive into sections 4, 5 and 6.
It’s your call - however you would like to approach this content, whichever way is
most beneficial to you, is what we’re after.
Good luck, have fun, and thank you for joining us in the Jamf 100 course.
