"Apprenticeships in audio post have slowly been disappearing. Joe's virtual apprenticeship is not only going to help a lot of people trying to break into the business, it's also going to lesson the burden and expense of training up staff for audio post facilities as well. It's a win win for the industry."Brian Bonifacio

"Joe has been wonderful in helping me with taking the next steps in my career! He is extremely detail oriented and great at giving you the whole picture whenever you ask a question. He is someone that truly wants to see you succeed! If you are someone questioning what steps are next for you, whether or not you have a defined area you want to go into, he is a wonderful backboard with tons of experience in various different fields, and is quick to give you help on whatever tools you need!"Nathalie

For years, I've yearned to elevate my career by delving into the realm of sound design. However, having a goal is meaningless without a concrete system in place. APCA provides just that! Since embarking on the course and completing several assignments, I've immediately noticed a marked difference in the quality of my work. The diverse range of assignments and their variety keeps you on your toes without feeling overwhelming. There's an abundance of material to practice different aspects of audio work, and the collection continues to grow steadily. The close support from Joe is invaluable. He is consistently there for you, providing critical and valuable feedback. Without his gentle prodding and demanding requests, I wouldn't know how to deliver more than what is initially requested or needed of me. Most crucially, conversing with him is effortlessly easy! Despite my initial reservations, he made me feel welcomed, and it never felt like a chore to reach out to him and receive feedback from him. This aspect is especially important because, without close correspondence, this course is only 10% effective. What sets this program apart is the back-and-forth nature that resembles a mentorship. In conclusion, I am thoroughly satisfied with what this course has provided me. Investing in APCA was a prudent decision, and I am genuinely delighted to have met Joe. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone aspiring to build a rock-solid foundation, acquire technical skills that seamlessly transfer to professional work, and create an impressive showreel that truly matters.Çağıl C.

Joe gave me such a wonderful feedback on suggesting what my next steps should be in my post production career. I am following his advices and improving my skills every day, and I can already see the landscape changing for me, with more jobs coming up and connecting with other fantastic professionals in audio post production. I'm also learning how to improve my workflow, working on different film projects and trying to find my space under the sun! I also developed further my website to showcase my work more effectively. All of this developed from Joe's guidance and shared knowledge. You are very inspirational, and I thank you for that!Pedro

Collaborations

Professor Jay Henry has been an inspiration to me since we met at the AES show many years ago. He was a dear friend and mentor who inspired me to continue the Audio Pro Network mentorship platform at a point when I was ready to give up.Although he is no longer with us, his memory lives on with me every day. It is my honor to continue to mentor some of the outstanding students who graduated from his Recording Arts program at Southwestern College.If you are an educator who would like to partner with the Audio Pro Network or the Audio Post Career Accelerator, please reach out. I would love to talk to you.

Why so many sessions in Ultimate?

When I started out, it was a struggle. Every day was a new session. Because of this, I got better and faster. I've created so many sessions for the APCA because by the time I had done my 200th session, I felt the confidence and had the skills of a true pro. If I made this a short course, it just wouldn't be worth doing. Also, If I did not make the APCA interactive with 1:1 meetings, you would not get the full benefit of what a true apprenticeship is all about either. Think about this... If you were an audio post facility owner, who would you rather hire? One... An audio school graduate? Or two... An audio school grad with hundreds of completed sessions and guidence from an industry pro? I think the answer is clear and it's what makes the APCA a true original. If you want to start slow without the commitment of the larger program, purchase the APCA Primer. It's less of a commitment and a good way to get familiar with the platform.

Why is the APCA Ultimate™ so expensive?

This curriculum is massive! There are 148 session files to practice your craft, plus you have access to your very own mentor during the entire process! Enjoy lifetime access to all the sessions, plus your own personal mentor. Ask yourself what you would pay for a transformational, college-level experience where you can speed up your career path. The list price for this course (Ultimate™) is $1299, and in our opinion, it's well worth the price. It's approximately the cost of a 3-credit undergraduate course. Book time with your mentor whenever you need advice and personal coaching. It's never been this easy to find a mentor dedicated to your success in audio post-production...until now! This is a life-changing course and mentorship experience. Plus, you get 3 free microphones while supplies last! I think you'll agree that this is an amazing deal!

I watch a lot of YouTube tutorials, why is this course better?

Well, it's not that it's better, It's just way different! The APCA is the most thorough and complete audio post curriculum ever created. I wish I had access to all of these amazing audio post professionals teaching on YouTube when I was young! There's so much great information online... almost too much. What makes the Audio Post Career Accelerator different is that you can finally learn by doing.... and all in one place! And unlike a YouTube video, I'll be there along the way to advise and inspire you in the private work group!

What if I'm unhappy with the course? Can I get my money back?

We would never want you to be unhappy! There are 7 free session downloads. No strings attached and no credit card required! This free content should be more than enough to figure out if the APCA is a commitment you want to make. The curriculum also includes active 1:1 mentoring as well, so because of that, all sales are final. Please don't make the purchase commitment if you are not up to the challenge of completing hundreds of sessions and learning directly from a personal mentor.

Is this course really for anyone?

Yes, this curriculum is designed for anyone interested in audio post. Whether you plan on attending college or not, the amount of lessons and hands on experience provided in the APCA will help anyone get ready for a successful career in audio post production. Even if you don't have a lot of Pro Tools experience, you'll learn enough to get you going. And if you already know Pro Tools, you'll certainly benefit from a simulated real world experience of almost a year (Ultimate™) in a real audio post house.

I know Pro Tools very well, why do I need to practice?

Hundreds of downloadable sessions will give you the skills needed to become a post production guru! I struggled doing my first 200 sessions under pressure with clients in the room! Now you can gain all that experience and level up without that pressure. Have you done 200 or more sessions in a myriad of audio post situations already? If so, don't purchase this course! But if you want to level up your skills and get noticed by employers, consider the Audio Post Career Accelerator!

Where is your free trial?

If you would like a demo of what's inside the APCA Primer and The Audio Post Career Accelerator, just join the free mentorship platform and you'll find some free sessions from the curriculum.

I know very little about Pro Tools, can I still take this course?

Yes! Pro Tools is one of the most intuitive DAW's around. Learning it is easy, but to get good at it you need to practice. Join the course and attend weekly beginner Pro Tools live webinars. Also get help when you need it via our messaging system. Joe will answer with a video or a 1:1 video conference!

Pro Tools is expensive, can I use a different DAW?

Yes, use any DAW you own to practice the concepts taught in this curriculum, but keep in mind that In the USA and most of the world, the de facto standard DAW for audio post production is Pro Tools. If you're serious about getting into audio post, it's the must learn DAW. You can certainly use others like Reaper, Nuendo, and even Logic, but it won't help you much if you want to get into an audio post house and be what I call, "session ready". Plain and simple, the course won't be that effective for you. When you do buy Pro Tools, save a little by getting the "Studio" version.

I want a career in audio post but I don't know where to start, will this course really help me?

Well, you came to the right place! The Audio Post Career Accelerator will show you everything you need to know about audio post and give you enough hands on experience to get recognized and employed. The biggest complaint I've heard from my studio owning friends is that even after finishing at renowned schools, graduates still don't have the require hands on experience to start editing right away. The APCA will give you that experience!

When does the course start and finish?

If you decide to purchase this virtual apprenticeship (either Ultimate™ or Primer™), keep in mind that it could take a while to complete. Ultimate™ done at a constant pace, will take you 40 weeks or more! I designed the APCA to simulate what it would be like to work at a real audio post facility. Join the Ultimate™ program while you're attending school or even after you've graduated. The APCA is meant to be a transformational experience. However, transformation does not happen overnight. Make the APCA part of your daily routine, complete the program (Ultimate™ only), and you'll get a certificate of completion. I'll even be en employment reference for you! If you are unsure about purchasing our flagship experience, try the APCA out with Primer™!
