![]() This is a directory that can be used by employers looking for an expert in your field in their area. Īpple certification is a global program, so it is recognised worldwide, and once you're certified you will be listed on the Apple certification records system, which can be found at. ![]() Centres offering certified training are called Apple Authorised Training Centres, and you can find one in your area by searching. The latter usually discover the correct terms for routines they have used for years, or more efficient workflows, and everyone benefits from the networking opportunities that arise.Ĭourses are led by trainers who have been through a rigorous programme of training and certification themselves, so they are not just Logic Pro geeks, but have also been tested for their ability to teach. The courses usually cater for novices (although a computing background and awareness of audio recording, mixing and sequencing concepts is a major benefit!) and seasoned pros alike. These are excellent reference sources in their own right, and can be bought from the Apple Store, Amazon or the publisher ( without the need to attend a course. In the case of Logic Pro 9, the 101 course uses Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9 by David Nahmani, and the 301 course uses Logic Pro 9 Advanced Music Production: Creating and Producing Professional Music by David Dvorin, both published by Peachpit Press. The course follows a specific textbook, which is usually provided as part of the course fee. Those wishing to update (if they're already a Logic Pro 8 Certified Professional) can enroll at a centre and just take the exam, but those new to certification will have to enroll and attend a complete course.Ĭourses are typically three days long (although some centres offer variations), ending with a two‑hour, on‑line, multiple‑choice examination. As I write, there are only a couple of weeks left until Logic Pro 8 level 1 certification is retired, and Logic Pro 9 courses are being rolled out by centres across the world. The 101 (level 1) and 301 (level 2) course and exam have been available since the days of version 6, and each certification is retired with the introduction of a new version, after an appropriate period of grace. 'Continuing professional development' is an area often neglected by freelancers, as it means taking time off and paying for a course, which is a double hit, but professional certification is fast becoming a prerequisite for any audio professional's CV.Īpple offer certification in all their pro applications, including Logic Pro. The usual early‑year hiatus in freelance work is taken by many freelancers as an encouragement to consider 'upskilling' through training and education. As Logic updates to 9.1 and an Apple launch hits the headlines, the new year could be the time to acquire some new skills. ![]()
