Final Cut Pro Certified Training

Next Byte Charlotte St offers two Final Cut Pro 6 Apple Certified Trainers: Iain Anderson and Jonathan Dowler (Queensland's first). We'll be offering Apple's Final Cut Pro courses in three lengths as well as a non-certifed one-day course for a customised introduction. Certified courses include an introduction (FCP 100, two days), a more detailed look (FCP 101, three days), or an in-depth, thorough examination of the program (FCP 200, five days).

Please examine the course notes in the links above to decide which course is right for you. If none of them are right for you, we can offer an ad-hoc course to suit. Pricing:

• One-day introduction (non-certified/customisable): $500
• FCP 100: $1000
• FCP 101: $1250
• FCP 200: $1700

There is a two person minimum on all courses or a 50% surcharge for one-on-one training. Please contact us for further pricing confirmation and to make a booking. We can arrange Final Cut Pro 6 Level 1 End User certification on request (exam undertaken off-site). The certification cost is included in the FCP200 course. If you plan to undertake certification, we recommend FCP200, or FCP101 and additional study before the exam.

Please use the contact form opposite to express your interest.
