Training and Certification

This intensive, three-day course prepares training professionals and industry experts to deliver Apple's Final Cut Server curriculum. The course combines lectures with hands-on, case study exercises that reinforce practical skills. To attend a Pro Applications Train-the-Trainer (T3) course, you must first be accepted into the Apple Certified Trainer (ACT) for Pro Apps program. Please review the ACT Program tab for details.

Before attending this class, you should review the appropriate Apple Pro Training Series courseware. Once accepted to the ACT program, you will be sent a link to order the book online at a 35% discount.  You must bring the book and DVD to class with you. This courseware will also help you prepare for the end-user exam that you must pass before attending the T3.

Prerequisites

• Final Cut Server 1.5 Level One enduser certification is required.
• An accepted Apple Certified Trainer application.
