WHAT IS AN APPLE CERTIFIED PRO?

Apple's professional applications are the industry standard for photographers, editors, sound designers, visual effects and multimedia artists. Certifications are available for Aperture, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Motion.

Apple Certified Pro - Level One demonstrates essential operational knowledge of an application. Level One exams are administered at the end of the associated course. You may also learn on your own and take the exam at an Apple Authorized Training Center (AATC).

Apple Certified Pro - Level Two attests to a deeper understanding and mastery of advanced features. Level Two exams can be taken only after Level One certification is earned.

Apple Certification exams are available in many languages. Even if an AATC does not offer localized courses, they can still offer localized exams.
