Students are free to complete the lessons not covered in the course on their own. We also advise that student's have taken the 3-day Logic 101 course.
Prerequisites
Students should have the following prerequisite knowledge prior to attending the course:
- Basic knowledge of Mac OS X
- Basic knowledge of audio terminology is required.
- Level One Logic Pro 9 End User certification is required before you can earn Level Two Logic Pro 9 End User certification. Ideally, students will have attended a Logic 101 course.
Certification
One of the main aims of this course is to prepare students for Apple’s Certified Pro examinations. These industry-recognised qualifications are a useful addition to your CV demonstrating that you are a confident and knowledgeable Logic Pro 8 user. At Alchemea we include one attempt at the Level 2 Logic Pro Certification Exam as part of the Logic 301 course.
If you wish you can take this exam at the end of the third day of your training under exam conditions. The pass mark is 80% and if you pass you become an "Apple Certified Pro" (Level 2). You also receive another nice certificate from Apple!
Logic Pro Level 2 certification also counts towards the new Logic Studio Master Pro certification. Master certification recognizes a user’s skills with the entire Logic Studio product suite. Since workflow is such a significant component, users need certification in at least two of the applications to earn Master Certification.
