IBC, a leading electronic media event and Future Media Concepts (FMC), the premier digital media training organisation, has announced that they will be offering Apple, Avid and Adobe post-production workshops at IBC 2011, RAI Amsterdam, between September 8 - 13.
Michael Crimp, CEO, IBC, commented: "The IBC Certified Training programme highlights IBC's commitment to serve the needs of individuals within broadcasting and electronic media and to continually provide the platforms to support the industry. We are proud to be working again with FMC. The high standards that they deliver, the relevance of their courses and the skills of the presenters will ensure that the programme is a worthwhile investment for any post-production professional."
This is the second year that IBC and FMC have joined forces with the IBC Certified Training Programme, which this year will be offering two-day Apple Final Cut Studio workshops, two-day Avid Editing workshops and a single one-day Adobe Production Premium workshop.
For attendees' convenience, the full schedule is offered twice and repeats itself between Thursday 8th and Sunday 12th September. The sessions are intended to support the career and technical goals of post-production professionals, and are designed to maximise their creativity and efficiency on the software. Sessions are taught by FMC-Certified Instructors and culminate in an optional, one-hour certification test on either Friday 9th, Sunday 11th or Monday 12th September.

Software is becoming more complex and the need for cutting-edge training has never been that evident.
"FMC workshops help professionals keep pace. Our instructors are well-known for their ability to lead objective and relevant, hand-on sessions that ensure participants maximise the experience. After last year's success at IBC, we are glad to have the opportunity to return to IBC for another round of effective Apple, Avid and Adobe training."
