The FCP Challenge

The Idea

I am passionate about video and innovative learning, and want to formalize my video skills with this plan: learn Final Cut Pro X, earn Apple FCP X Certification, and create a training plan with videos and quizzes for anyone to get Apple FCP X certified in 30 days for less than $100.

The Plan

June 1 – 30: Learn Final Cut Pro X using textbook, free resources, and software, maintain project blog and Twitter account with updates, tips, and notes
July 1: Take online Apple Associates FCP X certification test
July 2 – 31: Record 8 FCP X video tutorials and post to Youtube
August 1-17: Flip these videos using Ted Education platform to build quizzes, notes, and time management resources so anyone can complete the training in 30 days, the length of a FCP X free download
August 18-31: Create list of video project challenges to build a portfolio, use video-based LMS ApprenNet to allow anyone to submit short, creative video clips and get feedback from peers and industry professionals

How will you share your learning plan with the community?

I will maintain a blog and Twitter account during my project with updates, notes on FCP X, and tips for how to gain the skills and resources you need for media production. I will create a training plan with videos, quizzes, notes, and resources so anyone can get Apple FCP X certified.
