Logic 9 Certification F.A.Q.
We receive many requests for detailed information on the Logic certification process, so we have collected here some of the most frequently asked questions: if reading this page carefully doesn't help, feel free to contact us directly.
I already know Logic. Can I skip the course and just take the exam?
Yes, now you can choose to study at home and take just the exam. Our internal code for the exam-only option is LP102. There is a charge for the exam, and if you fail you will have to wait one week before attempting again (this is a strict requirement of the worldwide certification system and it's outside our control); furthermore, you will be charged again for every attempt.
Obviously you can't take the level 2 exam until you have passed level 1, but no class is required anymore.
If you have more questions about the exam call our office on 020 7720 6183.
When and where can I take the exam?
You can choose to take your exam immediately (on the last day of the course) or anytime within two weeks from the end of the course. We will work with you to arrange a time and allocate a computer for the exam. You could also choose to take your exam at another Apple training centre anywhere in the world, but in this case it's very likely that there would be an additional charge, and a limited choice of scheduled days for exams.
If you choose the exam-only option the exam can be arranged at a time that suits: we will just ask you to contact us a couple of days ahead of your preferred date to confirm the availability of space and exam codes.
Can I come to LSS to take the exam for Apple certifications other than Logic?
Yes, you can take exams for all Apple user certifications (Final Cut, osX, Aperture, etc); call to discuss the details.
When (how often) is the Apple Authorized Logic course?
The Apple Logic courses take place over three consecutive days of six hours each (including a short lunch break).
We run the Logic 101 course at least once a month, always on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday between 11 and 5pm. For the next dates see the Logic 101 course.
The Logic 301 course is normally run only once every three months, so make sure you don't miss the next.. For more details see the Logic 301 course .
How does the exam works?
The exam is based on the content of the course book, which must be purchased separately.
There is a two-hour time limit to answer a variable number of questions. The exam is entirely online, mostly based on multiple-choice questions. During the exam you will not be allowed to start Logic or consult the course book.
Where do I get the course book?
Logic 101: the book is called Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9, by David Nahmani
Logic 301: the book is Logic Pro 9 Advanced Music Production by David Dvorin.
Re-Certification from version 8:
Certifications for Logic 8 level one and level two expire on January 2010. After this date users who have lost access to the Apple Certification Alliance website and whose names don't appear on the public database anymore need to re-certify for the latest version of the software. London School of Sound offers a 15% to those users even if their certification was obtained from another training centre (requires proof of certification; this offer can't be taken in conjunction with any other offer).
How do I become a Logic Trainer?
To become an Apple Trainer you must attend a T3 (Train The Trainer) course with Apple. However, before you can reserve a place on the next T3 class, you must have the following:
- Logic Apple Certified Pro Level One, end user certification.
- An accepted ACT for Pro Products application. The application is available online at
protraining.itechit.com/act/. - Attendance at a Logic 101 end user course.
- Minimum of one year of experience using Logic Pro.
- Minimum of three years of experience as a teacher or professional in any of these fields: audio mixer, composer, producer, editor, sound designer or other closely related field.
- Some teaching experience in a structured, classroom setting.
- Thorough review the Apple Pro Training Series book: “Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9” by David Nahmani.
The London School of Sound is the most successful Logic training centre in the UK so it's an ideal environment for a future trainer to learn how to manage these lectures.
The T3 classes are run directly by Apple in various locations around the world. If you satisfy the requirements listed above, contact training@apple.com for dates and more details.
