Final Cut Pro Certified Training
Next Byte offers Queensland's only practising Final Cut Pro 6 Apple Certified Trainer: Iain Anderson. We normally offer Apple's Final Cut Pro courses as a three-day course, based on Apple's FCP101 course. This course includes a detailed look (FCP 3-day, based on FCP 101) at the features of Final Cut Pro, and is very similar in content to the five day course we have offered previously (based on FCP 200). Please examine the course notes in the links above if you have questions on course content.
Pricing:
- FCP 3-day (based on FCP 101): $1250
There is normally a two person minimum on our courses, though we may be able to accommodate one-on-one training by prior arrangement. Please contact us for further pricing confirmation or use the form below to make a booking. We can arrange Final Cut Pro 6 Level 1 End User certification on request (exam undertaken off-site). If you plan to undertake certification as a Pro End User, we recommend our Final Cut Pro course, additional study, and to take the exam within a month of the course completion.
Adobe Photoshop Masterclass
Master the power of Adobe® Photoshop® CS4, the industry standard in image-editing for photographers, professional designers and graphics producers. Masterclasses consist of four sessions, each covering many techniques and features:
- Brushes and Layers: powerful techniques for getting the most out of brushes and layers, plus many common shortcuts
- Channels, Selection and Masking: how to use these related concepts to produce the best selections with maximum flexbility
- Adjustments and Filters: the best ways to improve tonal range, correct colour or affect an image more drastically, without sacrificing workflow
- Retouching and Image Processing: industry tips on how to improve any image
Adobe Photoshop CS4 master classes are limited to 6 persons per class. This original course includes step-by-step notes and is delivered by Iain Anderson, who has extensive retouching, design, print, multimedia and training experience. Cost per person is $400 for the day, including notes.
We will be training with the latest Photoshop CS4, but training will be suitable for all recent versions. Differences between CS4 and earlier versions will be noted during the course.
