Dubai, UAE: SAE Institute Dubai, the region’s leading creative media education institute has announced a host of new training and certification courses for the first quarter of 2012, led by Apple Certification Training focused on Final Cut Pro X and Apple Logic Pro.
Following naturally from the institute’s bachelor degree programmes in Film and Audio production, the certification courses are designed for both professionals and students who prefer hands-on and interactive instruction to best explore the software functionality.
“There are numerous benefits to the working professional including internationally recognised credentials, listing in the Apple Certified Professionals registry and the ability to use the Apple logo on both resumes and signature,” commented Predrag Toncev, Campus Manager at SAE Institute Dubai. “Basically these certificates help boost your credibility and visibility in an extremely competitive marketplace.”
The intensive classes are coupled with end user exams that provide Apple Certified Pro Level One status in the software course chosen. Logic 101, an introduction to Logic Express 9 and Logic Pro 9 introduces students to the primary features and basic user interface of Logic Pro where they learn how to generate a customised audio and MIDI configuration that will seamlessly integrate with their own personal production studio. Students will also create their own song using Logic Pro’s comprehensive array of software instruments, Apple Loops and DSP effects.
This will be coupled with in-depth lessons that will cover MIDI and audio recording, streamlined editing and arrangement techniques, user defined key commands, automation, scoring to picture and surround mixing.
FCP 101, an introduction to Final Cut Pro X meanwhile will start with basic video editing techniques and work all the way through Final Cut Pro’s powerful advanced features. Those taking the course will learn to mark and edit clips, mix sound, add titles, create transitions, apply filters, and more. Topics will include basic setup, customising preferences and settings, capturing video and audio, various editing and trimming techniques, Ripple, Roll, Slip, and Slide tools, audio editing and audio creation, finishing and final output. FCP 200 takes the concept of the 101 course further and broadens the scope from 3 days to 5 days allowing for even more comprehensive insights into the software.
As an AATC (Apple Authorised Training Center) and AATCe (Apple Authorised Training Center for Education), SAE Institute Dubai have scheduled to host certification and training programmes that will include not only more Apple related courses but those dedicated to Adobe and other professional software as well.
Courses range from two to five days and start at AED 2,800.
