Pro Tools training now available at Manchester campus
Digidesign has recently made Manchester, UK-based Futureworks an authorized Pro School. The award makes it one of only four training facilities in the UK, eight in Europe, that are able to teach Pro Tools up to the highest level - music, icon and post production expert level.
Futureworks is the only teaching institution to train students on a 32-channel D Control work surface, the console used to create such high profile projects as the Bond and Batman films. Its teachers are also now amongst a small group of professionals that are qualified to teach Pro Tools up to Icon expert outside of the US.
Since the announcement of the Pro Tools status this week, several professional companies have signed up to the courses, including BBC, ITV, 3sixty Media and The Royal Shakespeare Company.
Chris Mayo, managing director of Futureworks, commented:
“Our credentials as a Pro Tools school speak for themselves; we have the most experienced instructors combined with the latest state-of-the-art equipment, offering the perfect package to both industry clients and students.
“The fact that world renowned media companies such as the BBC and ITV are using our facilities to train their audio professionals is a huge testament to the quality here.”
Futureworks now offers a range of Digidesign certified Pro Tools training courses from beginner level up to expert level. All courses can be taught on both Mac and PC systems and instructor led tuition is combined with practical learning using sample material.
