In audio, one thing that singles out one engineer from the rest is their ability to operate gear like a pro. It’s for this reason that the Conservatory of Recording Arts offers its students the ability to certify on a variety of audio gear and platforms. For starters, students are offered the Digidesign-authorized Pro Tools 210M Operator’s certificate, plus the Conservatory’s own Pro Tools Certification, the same the school has offered since 1997 when it became the first Avid Authorized Pro Tools Training Center in the United States. Since then, the Conservatory has developed certifications for other gear including TC Electronic’ M3000 and S6000, SIA SMAART Pro software, Apple Logic Pro 7 and Antares Auto Tune 4.
“Giving our students the hands-on training they need to compete in the audio workplace is what our certification programs are all about,” says Administrator Kirt Hamm. “We’ve developed strategic alliances with a number of manufacturers and will soon offer an even 10 certificates that students can leave with once they graduate.”
New programs in development in 2005 include certificates for the Yamaha PM1D digital live sound console, JBL Vertec Line Array and Reason 3.0 from Propellerheads. It takes experience to be a professional, and Conservatory graduates leave school with what they need to succeed in audio.
