Final Cut Studio Master Certification recognizes your skills with the entire Final Cut Studio product suite. Since workflow is such a significant component of Final Cut Studio, the curriculum is set up so that you need certification in at least four applications to earn Master Certification. Both end user and trainer versions of this certification are available.

To become certified as a Final Cut Studio (FCS) Master Pro or an FCS Master Trainer, you must pass all required exams. Some requirements offer an option where you may choose between one of two exams. Some exams require mandatory class attendance. The certification is similar to the Apple Certified System Administrator (ACSA) where each passed exam earns an individual certification as well as credit toward Master certification. Master certification is granted when all required exams are passed. As exams expire when new versions of applications are introduced, candidates need to replace them to keep their FCS Master certification current.

To become an Apple Certified Pro, you must pass an online exam administered at an Apple Authorised Training Centre (AATC). Level One exams are administered at the end of specific courses. If you believe you already have the necessary skills, you may take the exam for Level 1 certification at Soho Editors Training for a fee. To register for the exam, please consult with Soho Editors Training. Level Two exams can be taken only in conjunction with the Advanced Classes taught at the AATCs.
