Avid Certified Instructor
Posted by admin in News on Oct 1st, 2011
I just got back from Los Angeles, where I received my official certification as an Avid Certified Instructor (ACI). This certification makes me only the third ACI in the state of Arizona and the second at Scottsdale Community College, the premier Avid Training Partner in the state.
Avid is the industry standard non-linear editing system used to cut the vast majority of professionally produced films and television programs today. Avid has won 2 Academy Awards and 14 Emmys for its products.
To earn my certification, I had to pass a number of exams as well as take a week long training course at Avid’s Burbank headquarters taught by Avid’s Training Manager. Avid wants to ensure that all ACI’s are both well versed in the software as well as skilled teachers, trainers and editors. I’m proud to join such a small group of well trained professionals and look forward to teaching many more classes at SCC.
