Three Really Good Reasons to Take Certification Trainingġ) You Want to Know Pro Tools Like the Back of Your Hand (Rest assured, there are some bad ones too.): And that is the best of three good reasons to sit for certification training. In every lesson, there was at least one little trick, workaround, or more efficient workflow to pick up. Having sat for the User certification level, I can admit that even the lower-level courses further enhanced my speed and understanding of the program. I also work with a school that may occasionally offer these courses to students in the future.) (Full Disclosure: Although I personally have no plans to teach Pro Tools classes anytime in the near future, I am now technically a “Pro Tools Certified Instructor“, and could secretly be trying to set the stage to fleece you for many thousands of dollars down the road. There’s also a special track for Avid’s live console, VENUE. From here, you can sit for higher level classes if desired, and certify at the “ Operator” and “ Expert” levels, where specialized tracks in Music or Post-Production are available. Taking this 24+ hour course and passing the test will bestow you with Pro Tools “ User” Certification. The next level up from Pro Tools 101 is the Pro Tools 110 course. Many major metropolitan areas will have at least a couple of registered “Avid Learning Partners” that regularly hold these classes with certified instructors. All other levels of Pro Tools Certification can only be taken after a full-length class led by a certified instructor.

It’s worth noting that this “Pro Tools 101” stage is the only part of the certification process that you have the option of completing without sitting through a full class led by certified Pro Tools Instructor-expedited versions may be available. Instead, you can think of this as a gateway to the higher level courses that do carry certification. Passing this Pro Tools 101 test will not earn you Pro Tools Certification by itself. It’s one hour long, with 50 multiple choice questions. Once you feel comfortable with this material, you’ll want to sit for the Pro Tools 101 test. Avid’s guidelines are that this level of training should take 16 or more hours of study, usually completed over two or more days with a certified instructor. It is published by Cengage Learning, and widely available at major booksellers. The first step on any of these tracks is to work through the lessons in a textbook called Pro Tools 101. There are 3 main levels of Pro Tools Certification: “User”, “Operator”, and “Expert”. But first, the basics of PT Certification.
#PRO TOOLS 101 SERIES#
Now, having completed my first series of Pro Tools certification classes, I find myself asking the same question you may be thinking: “If I had to pay out of pocket, would it have still been worth it? Would I recommend it to a friend or colleague?” Still, I’ve always wondered if there was anything about the program I could know even better. And of course, on those days when you have less work coming in, it can feel difficult to justify spending the money. (Well enough to make most of my living using the program, anyway.) When you have plenty of work coming in, it can be hard to justify spending the time to train on a program you already have a good handle on. Like many professionals in the field, I thought I knew Pro Tools pretty darn well already.
I had thought about taking one of these courses on my own for a long time, but for one reason or another, I managed to put it off for a bit more than a decade. Recently, I was fortunate enough to have an employer provide the funds for me to attend Pro Tools Certification training classes.
