Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology has become an Avid Media Campus site standardizing on Avid’s platform-based workflows across its eight campuses to ensure students college-wide can learn on the leading technologies and tools for film and television creation, production, and distribution. This includes the Avid Learning Partner Program, which provides the curriculum and associated materials to enable Seneca to train its students to become Avid Certified.

Avid Media Campus schools get significant education discounts on all Avid products. As one of Canada’s premiere institutions for higher learning in media creation and production, Seneca’s School of Media earned its reputation through its commitment to giving students first-hand experience with technology. The school gives instruction in a range of disciplines, including Film and TV, Broadcast and Journalism, as well as web-based multimedia and video, and provides access to media industry leaders and highly sought-after experience in professional settings where knowledge of Avid tools and solutions ensures opportunities for students to stand out.

Having a unified support structure — complete with ACSR certifications and access to Avid Professional Services — makes for a smooth process and transition for planning and implementing hardware and software upgrades, including any day-to-day technical or operational issues that may arise.”...read more
