Apple Master Certifications

Apple offers both end user and trainer versions of the Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio Master certifications. Master Certification recognises your skills with the entire product suite. Since workflow is such a significant component of both Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio, each curriculum requires you to earn certification in multiple applications, as outlined in the tables below.

Certifications are version-based for each application. As exam versions are retired, candidates can re-certify on the new versions to keep their Master Certification current. Updated versions of the Master Certification tracks will be available shortly.
