Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

What does certification involve?

Certification is a two-step process. First, you take the certification course and written test. Following that, you complete a practical test as described in the course. Once those two items have been completed, you are then Certified through the AGCV.

Do I need to already have my equipment?

No, it isn't a requirement, but it certainly does help you to better understand what you're seeing taught in the course.

Do I need to have prior experience as a videographer?

That is definitely helpful. But our course teaches you various video productions fundamentals as well.
