The History of ProMedia Training, The First Pro Tools Training Center
Since 2002, ProMedia Training has been an Official Avid Learning Partner offering Pro Tools Training and Exam Preparation courses for Pro Tools Certification Exams for both Hands-On & cutting-edge Live-Online Instructor-Led Training. In the early days, ProMedia was known as "The Pro Tools Training Center" teaching Pro Tools courses long before any true training program existed. It was during that time that the manufacturer agreed it was time to standardize systems of training for Pro Tools Users of all levels, and we were proud to be the first U.S Training Center to roll out DIgidesign's (now Avid) training program.
For two decades, we have welcomed people from around the world, as well as provide corporate training to the most advanced audio engineers seeking innovative and efficient workflow. Click HERE for sample references. Our Hands-On courses have been graced with many of the top musicians, producers, artists, and audio engineers in the world; some artists with over 100 Million Albums sold!! We provide the path for you to learn Pro Tools thoroughly, so free class audits are welcomed for those to re-fresh their skills for one year after taking class.
Participation is limited to small classes per workshop in both hands-on and Live-Online classes. Each student will receive all class materials, books, sessions, practice lessons and sample libraries from the instructor. Our instructors have decades of real world experience and are all Expert Level Certified.

WHAT THEY SAYTESTIMONIALSOUR GREAT CLIENTS
Been a Professional Touring Musician and FOH Engineer for 30 years.
Been a Pro Tools User since 2008. Mihia showed me more in 6 days then I learned in 12 years from other people and youtube. Hands on and very patience to answer questions not even class related . Very Personal team who cares. Look forward to getting my workflow where I need it and learning more from Pro Media. Yes I will take any class they will teach. I recommend them to everyone who is serious about Pro Tools and the product they put out. He is a Midi Master. Not only does it help me in the Studio but things I learned Also Helped me understand a few thing in the FOH World.

My live, online course for Pro Tools 101/110 was a superb experience! I learned so many things in a very organized fashion. Our instructor, Mihai Boloni, is a seasoned veteran of the recording industry, and he presented tools and concepts using practical examples. It was a lot of material to cover in only six classes, but I now have a strong foundation upon which to improve my Pro Tools skills. I plan on taking the certification exam soon.I expect I’ll retire next year and plan on helping school music groups (pro bono) and local bands make and/or refine recordings. I can now arrange and mix many years of my band's WAV files that have been "gathering dust" on a storage drive.
I am looking forward to expanding my capabilities. Who knows…I may become an overnight success at age 65.Many thanks for responding so quickly to my initial online inquiry and getting me started on my audio engineer quest.
"I want to thank you for your time the past several days, especially for the post production aspect of the training. I admire your approach to teaching and patience, as well as to your knowledge on Pro Tools (and audio/signal/experience in general). You have definitely advanced my knowledge and expertise in the short time we spent together and I hope to be on your level someday. I’m also inspired to start making more music too!"
Steve Williams
"With Dan’s excellent training I learned an amazing amount of content and became User and Operator certified. Dan Faber is a true asset to Promedia and I would give him the highest marks as an exceptional instructor. From Dan’s experience with teaching Pro Tools classes, he is able to focus his discussions on the topics that are most relevant and helpful for the student’s understanding of the material as well as for certification test preparation."
Daniel Howes
"I got my user certification from another institution, the instructor there had the concepts down for training, but the difference between the two schools is night and day. The biggest difference was the instructors at Promedia. I passed my operator exam, and some of the little details in the instruction made this much easier. He has little tips and tricks to remember some of teh short-cuts and hot keys in Pro Tools.
