This Avid conversion course is ideal for the veteran Editor looking to transfer their skills to Avid Media Composer and who prefers hands-on and interactive instruction to best explore its functionality.

Students should have the following prerequisite knowledge prior to attending the course:

- Knowledge of OS X and basic computer navigation
- Advanced knowledge of using Final Cut Pro 7 or similar NLEs is required

Whilst there is no Avid certification for this course, our trainers are industry-experienced Avid Certified Instructors and Soho Editors is an Authorised Avid Training Partner. Additionally you will receive a certificate from Soho Editors upon completion of the course.

Firstly, we are long established as part of the post-production industry, and therefore have an excellent understanding of the market, and the skills that post-production staff need to have. We are not purely a training company, with other divisions of the group having a huge presence in the industry.

Secondly, unlike a lot of our competitors that provide training to the post-production industry, many of the courses we run are fully approved and certified, and will give you a recognised qualification if you pass the exam (more on this later).

We do not do general training – our courses are all industry specific, and we are experts in this field.

Thirdly, we're situated in the heart of London's post-production district – where better place to train on post-production technology?

Fourthly, the team here is friendly, helpful, efficient, understanding, flexible and approachable, and the trainers, as well as being all of the above, are fully qualified and certified, and all have significant industry experience and kudos as editors / talent in their own right.

Not necessarily, but it will be good for your CV – you will actually have documentation stating you're a qualified user of the programme.

This is a recognised qualification within the industry, and more and more employers are looking for this.
