Be a Certified Professional

Apple

To become an Apple Certified Pro, you must pass a certification exam at an Apple Authorized Training Center (AATC), or with us! Level One certification attests to basic operational knowledge of each application. Level Two demonstrates knowledge of advanced features and a deeper understanding of the application. Level One and Level Two exams are administered by appointment only. You may take Level One exams without taking a class, for a fee. When enrolled in an Apple Certified Course, the Level 1 certification exam is included.  To register for an exam, please contact us at contact@mewshop.com.  The initial cost of a Final Cut Pro Level One exam is $150.  There is an additional fee when a retake is necessary.  Please contact us for additional information.

The Final Cut Pro Exam Prep Guide and the accompanying practice exam are now available directly to students on the Apple website. Students may download the Prep Guide PDF from Apple. The PDF is available for no cost, but students must pay $25 via credit card if they choose to take the online practice exam.  The initial fee for a Certified Pro Exam is $150.  There is an additional fee when a re-take is necessary.  Please contact us at contact@mewshop.com for additional information.  MEWShop schedules exams by request only with proper notice.
