You can earn your certification online in as little as 20 weeks.
As part of your film certification, you’ll take courses focused on production and editing that will build skillsets to accomplish your goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shoot moving images, record sound, manipulate images with industry-standard software tools, and practice non-linear editing techniques to tell stories. Then you’ll harness the art of assembling images and sound to tell compelling stories for film and television.
In a few short months, you will be on your way to turning the art that is in your head into something that others can experience.
The certificates can be competed in as few as 20 weeks.
