Industry Pathway Certification Courses
There can be a gap between learning how to use media systems for projects and how to use them to obtain a job. Even experienced individuals may not be familiar with role expectations or even how to take their first step in landing a professional job in the industry. Key Code Education bridges that gap and prepares students not only to be gainfully employed, but succeed in their profession with our new Industry Pathway Certification Courses.
Each certification course is designed to outline the everyday needs of career paths in the Media & Entertainment industry as well as how to achieve personal success. Each course is built into Instructure’s Canvas, leveraging Key Code Education’s own Learning Management System (LMS) and easily integrated into any existing LMS.
Most importantly, each certification course is designed with asynchronous training videos, allowing the instructor to focus on teaching soft skills and personal development. Key Code Education provides a comprehensive Instructor Guide and Train-the-Trainer classes for the teaching staff so both the students and instructors can enjoy the journey of preparing for the professional world.
Key Code Education also provides a certification exam that allows the student to begin collecting recognizable certification badges through Badgr, which unlocks our job board, class discounts, and access to Key Code Education’s growing community resources.
The certification courses are broken into two categories: creative management and creative operations, all hand-crafted by industry veterans to get your foot in the door and learn more about the industry as you build valuable operational experience. The PC101: Post Coordinator Essentials course is the first step in a path that leads to Post Supervisor, then on to Associate Producer, and finally Producer. The ED201: Assistant Editor Essentials course is the first step in becoming an Editor. From Editor, you can go to Visual Effects, Finishing, Color, and even Directing.
