What started as a quest to learn about the tools I work with has grown into a career that has taken me around different corners of the globe. Since I achieved my first Final Cut Pro Trainer certification in 2004, I’ve delivered courses and presentations across North America, Europe and the Middle East, working with various Apple Authorised Training Centres to support the needs of broadcasters, organisations, independent producers and educators of every variety.
As the industry evolves to engage with digital technologies and workflows, I’ve needed to develop my knowledge and skills to better understand the context of contemporary post-production. Today I maintain a number of Apple Certified Trainer certifications and deliver a wide range of associated courses:
- Final Cut Pro X
