ProMedia Training Announces Dallas Pro Tools 8 Accelerated Core Certification Program

ProMedia Training, the leader in modern accelerated audio and multimedia training, is pleased to present an all-new Accelerated Pro Tools 8 Core Certification Program, January 14-27, 2009, at its state-of-the-art Training Center in Dallas, Texas. Featuring music producers and sound designers, Johnny Marshall and David Rosenblad, these pros will delve deep into using Pro Tools 8 for music and sound design production, as well as offering insight and training tips/tricks for working with Digidesign's world-renown production software.

PMT's Pro Tools Accelerated Core Certification Package is a 40 clock-hour package—offered in an intensive 5-day session—and includes two Digidesign certified courses designed for aspiring engineers, musicians, DJ's and singer/songwriters who want to turn their creativity into reality. We introduce students to proper setup, recording, mixing, editing, loops, plug-ins, MIDI, and much, much more. Throughout the curriculum, students work with sophisticated HD systems and control surfaces, and upon successful completion, take the Digidesign exam for Certification.

The tuition package includes a free Digidesign plug-in (valued at $500). And, for a limited time only, when students sign up or refer a friend for the Music Production, Certification, Pro Packages, or Career Program—during the month of January—they'll also receive a FREE upgrade to the incredible new version of Pro Tools LE 8!

The value of PMT's offerings can be found in our modern, accelerated audio curriculum, designed to offer attendees an affordable, well-rounded practical education using contemporary production tools. We focus only on what they need to be creative and start a career as an audio engineer in a modern audio environment. Our faculty of engineering professionals have significant industry recognition including a dozen Grammy Awards, hundreds of Platinum and Gold Albums and multiple Emmys, and have successfully trained thousand of engineers.
