Description
The Audio Recording and Production certificate program is designed to prepare students for careers in audio recording and production. This program will prepare students to take the AVID Pro Tools certification exams at the beginning and intermediate levels culminating in the ability to qualify as an AVID Pro Tools Operator. Pro Tools is the industry standard for digital audio recording for music and audio post production, along within the careers in film and gaming. The AVID Pro Tools certification shows that a student is a leader with the ability to successfully implement and operate Pro Tools within any professional environment. They can take additional ProTools 200 level Post Production Certification classes as independent studies with us, along with our new Special Topics course, ARP 130 - Pro Tools for Game Audio. We also recently began offering certification in AVID Sibelius 101 and 110 courses.
