Avid Media Training
Hi Guys
I need to learn AVID and fast,The company I work for wants me to move over from Sony Vegas to Avid.
We have a shiny new AVID machine sitting downstairs ready for me to use.
I’ve spent a few days playing around and understand the(very)basics of how it all works.So now I’m looking for a week long course to go on in the UK I’ve seen 4 courses, 2 in London, 1 in Manchester and 1 in Glasgow.
Has anyone been here been on a course that they would recommend or know of anyone that has been on a course that I could have a chat with?
Cheers
Matt

I agree, I would recommend a structured course rather than just winging it.
Try Skillset, for subsidised courses.
I don’t know if Soho Editors is still going, but I think they had a good course.
Try one of the other Avid discussion groups –
https://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/Avid-L2/
through that, try get in touch with Roger Shufflebottom, I think he used to train individuals, but he had contacts in many places, he may be able to help. -

Avid, through Avid Authorized Training Centers, has a comprehensive set of courses that are intense and hands on.
Start with MC 101 on this page here for a schedule of the one closest to you.
If you want to know a specific of any given class, ask away!

I’ll take a look and/or get in touch with peopleI’ve been through the Avid on-line starter course but I want to be sure I know what I’m doing before I start transferring my work load from one platform to another.
