The high-end video editing applications (i.e. Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Studio, Adobe Creative Suite) have become incredibly complex and feature rich. GeniusDV believes the best way to learn this type of software is in a one-on-one training environment. This allows us to focus on specific software features that pertain to your business.
Where is the training located?
We are available to come to your location, or place of business. If we come to your place of business, we don’t charge per student, so this is a great way to maximize the value of training you'll be receiving..
If you’re looking to get away from the office but you still want training in your local area, GeniusDV can schedule a training session at a local hotel/conference center. If you’re looking to escape your local area, GeniusDV maintains a luxurious classroom setting in Orlando, FL. We limit the course to the first 5 students.
Why GeniusDV? What separates us from the competition?
- There is no high-pressure sales pitch. We are up-front and honest about our services. If our training isn’t for you, we’re happy to point you in an alternative direction.
- Our instructor’s are working professionals, which means they are using the software every day in a real-world production environment.
- We use certified instructors
- We provide licensed practice media and tutorials
- Ongoing support (access to your instructor via phone, email, and 24 hour hotline)
- Hundreds of published tutorials and tips available to you via our website
- We have our own published courseware (via Amazon.com, or major bookstore)
- We will never cancel a class that you’ve paid for.
What about Certification?
GeniusDV can help you become certified. That being said, we prefer not to teach for the certifications exams. The certification exams focus on technical, and user interface items. If your ultimate goal is to become certified, we will help you study for the exam(s) after normal class-room hours.
A note on courseware:
Unlike most training centers, it is not our intent to teach you directly from courseware. We prefer to use courseware as a reference guide. If you learn well from reading books, then we suggest you save your money and learn the software from reading. Our teaching style is based on real-world exercises that cannot be taught from a book. In fact, each training session is different, because the industry keeps changing.
What are the courses times?
Course times are flexible. A typical schedule is 9am-5pm each day.
