• Up to 4 laptops for the duration of the course
• Courseware
• Practice Media and Tutorials

You can have your own personal genius travel out to your location to provide the same level of training that you would receive in a classroom. You cannot beat dedicated one-on-one training in your environment. After the training, a trainer is always available as your dedicated support specialist. Yes, that's right! You'll have the direct line of communication with your own personal instructor.
Why hire a personal genius? What are the advantages
• You will be working on your equipment, and your software.
• We will customize your training experience based on your company's workflow.
• Our certified instructors have advanced knowledge on other related software products you may be using.
• You will be given access to your instructor via cell phone and email after your instructor leaves.
• We provide ongoing technical phone support after your instructor leaves.
• You will save money, instead of having to travel to training center.
• Because it's just you and the instructor, we can cover more material in less time.
• We will skip over concepts that do not apply to your working situation.
How long does the support last?
It's ongoing! Yes, that's right. If it's something we cover during the training, we'll help you out with the issue until it's solved.
How many hours of training do I get in a day?
We don't count the number of hours in each day, so be prepared for some intense training! We'll go until your brain can't handle anymore. 8-10 hours is considered a good practice. We understand the human limits of how much information can be absorbed in a day. If you're alert longer than 10 hours a day, then we are up for the challenge.
Are the instructors certified?
Yes, GeniusDV has certified experts for Adobe, Avid, and Apple Final Cut Studio.
Is there a course outline that we follow? What about courseware?
Yes, we can provide courseware but keep in mind the courseware is only for reference. We prefer not to teach directly from courseware. Otherwise you're missing the point of hiring a personal genius.
What is the schedule? How fast can a trainer come to my facility?
Typically, with only a few days notice we can have an instructor at your facility. GeniusDV can also provide training after-hours, or on the weekends to fit your schedule.
Can I request a specific trainer?
Yes, but your training schedule will be based on that instructor's availability.
Can I interview my instructor before paying?
Absolutely! We will put you directly in touch with an instructor, so you can discuss your needs, before you decide to hire a personal genius.
On-Site training is not for everyone. We also have an online training program that allows you to train in the comfort of your business or home studio. The major difference is that the training in done remotely using your internet connection to control your machine.
What are the methods of payment?
Payment must be received up-front. We accept all major credit cards, company checks, or signed PO's from major companies, state/local governments.
