Apple even has a special name for the moment when employees pass training and get out to work: It's called "getting shirtified."

A former Apple Store employee talked about getting "shirtified" in a Reddit post. They said that the training required lots of role play, and the final test was pretending to sell an upgraded iMac to a manager.
Apple Store training usually takes place in a hotel, and can take several days. They learn things like the "three As": Acknowledge, Align, Assure.
But once employees are done with training, they get shirtified, and can get to work at Apple.
