Introducing the Ableton Certification Program

Since establishing the Ableton Certification Program in 2008, Ableton has sought to connect Live users with the very best trainers and institutions possible. All over the globe, a growing group of Ableton Certified Trainers are now offering Ableton Live training that has been meticulously examined and verified by Ableton — at all skill levels, for individuals and groups.

The Ableton Certification process emphasizes quality over quantity, opting annually to certify only a select group of trainers and institutions in each geographical region. An Ableton Certified Trainer should represent the absolute best of the best, in both teaching skills and platform proficiency. Ableton Certification weekend testing events take place at various locations around the world, hosted either by Ableton directly, or by Ableton's exclusive distribution partners.

Ableton Certified Trainers can take advantage of a number of benefits, including:

• Trainer Listing on Ableton.com
• Authorization to use the Ableton Certification Trainer Logo
• Access to Ableton Certified Trainer forum
• Special marketing support for training events
• Attractive licensing options from Ableton and partners
• Preferred BETA access on new versions of Ableton products

Moreover, institutions that employ Ableton Certified Trainers to offer courses in Ableton Live automatically become Ableton Certified Training Centers, and will be listed online in Ableton's list of recommended institutions teaching Ableton Live.
