ARRI and MZed have teamed up to release the ARRI Academy courses online. If you are an inspiring filmmaker, an AC, a rental house technician, or an ARRI camera owner, the ARRI Academy classes are the best sources of knowledge regarding ARRI products and workflows. Let’s take a closer look at the first course: ARRI  Certified Training for Camera Systems.

The ARRI Academy

The German company ARRI is famous for making top-quality film equipment like lights, lenses, cameras and so on. The ARRI Academy is ARRI’s training programs for technicians. Once you finish one of the various multi-day training course, you end up with a certification. If you want to master any piece of ARRI equipment or workflow, learning directly from the manufacturer is the best route to go.

On the other hand, MZed has a vast catalog of filmmaking related online courses and masterclasses. A partnership between the two companies is a good thing. In short, it means that some ARRI Academy classes will be available directly from your couch, whenever you want. The cherry on the cake: you even get a certificate at the end of a course.
