Take your Pro Tools training to the next level at The New England Institute of Art and become a Certified Pro Tools Operator. The Digidesign® Training and Education program offers a comprehensive hands-on curriculum designed to give you the skills you need to work with Pro Tools in a professional environment. Becoming a Certified Pro Tools Operator can be an important step toward landing your next gig and building a professional resume.

Courses are taught by faculty from The New England Institute of Art who are certified Digidesign trainers. Our faculty are experienced professionals and can update participants on current industry demands and practices. Class size is small to allow for individual instruction. All classes are held in a hands-on lab environment which allows each student time to work on individual workstations and in our studios. Students will be given ample time for practice in class and will have the opportunity to schedule additional time in our labs.

There are four courses in the sequence. After completing each course, students will be given an exam to test their knowledge before moving on to the next course. At the end of the fourth course students will be able to take the Pro Tools Operator certification exam.

Once you complete your certification, you will receive a frameworthy certificate from Digidesign and you will be listed in the online Digidesign Certification Directory so peers and potential clients can find you quickly. You will also receive discounts in the Digidesign Education Store on selected software and Pro Tools LE hardware.

Participants in the Pro Tools Certification Program are required to have prior education in audio technology, equivalent industry experience, or permission from the department chair.
