CERTIFICATION: We now
offer our own 1ProPhoto.Com
certification for Phase One Capture 1
Pro software*. This certification has
been created by us and is not currently
Phase One authorized.
After three years of providing this
workshop we believe that what we offer
is far superior to other certification
offerings.
Unlike other courses we will not certify
you just because you sat down in front
of a computer for 3 hours and looked at
the software.
Our time tested format for teaching this
course offers plenty of time for
everyone to assimilate the vast amount
of information provided. Our certification
is based on the level of
competency
you display
when using Capture 1 Pro software during
our live capture setting and by displaying
a high level of competency in using the
Phase One digital backs on multiple
medium format cameras and Canon DSLR
cameras demonstrated during the course. Registration and payment for this course
does not guarantee your certification;
no matter how much we like you or how
long we've known you.
Being a qualified Digital Technician comes over time
(just like being a first assistant) and has nothing to do with a piece of paper. We are sorry if
this rubs some of you the wrong way, but those
that have taken our workshops have gone
on to become some of the most sought
after digital techs in the country, and
we will not lower our standards.
Everyone that attends and is listed
on either our assistants or Digital tech
DB will be marked as having
attended our 2 day Digital Tech workshop.
I have worked with
"Certified Digital Techs" and can
honestly say that some of them should
not be out there. If I hear about you from "reputable sources"
I WILL recommend you on our web sites.
Phase One & Capture 1 Pro software

This is the best digital
workshop I have ever taken. Very well put together, great
presentation, real world experiences and information, and
the fact that you provide all of the equipment just blows
away any other workshop out there. Your certainly setting
the bar very high for others when it comes to training.

I learned more in 2 days than
I ever did in a semester long college course; best
investment in my education yet... and everybody was so
friendly! I love you guys! Great to be in a real studio too,
you really feel like you are in the right place to learn
everything. Colleges could learn a lot from you guys, and
could use more classes that teach real world photo and
applications we'll actually use.... you should consider
pitching your course to a few schools. :)

The instructors were
entertaining and educational. The class' pace was good. The
instructors shared their experiences as photographers,
techs, and assistants; and this was perhaps the most
valuable part of the class.

The
workshop was worth every penny and I definitely recommend
it. Very friendly atmosphere, thorough and articulate
instruction and materials, great personal attention to boot.
Thank you PhotoAssistant.net! - Anonymous comment
Excellent workshop. Digital backs are so expensive and
prohibitive to emerging professionals and assistants that it
was great to experience them inside-out in this class.
Instructor was very candid and friendly. Keep up the good
work James. - Anonymous comment
Excellent workshop! I would highly recommend it to anyone
interested in top-tier digital photography. - Anonymous

Thank you for offering
this course. The resources you provided were amazing! The
leaf course, in comparison, does not provide laptops (you
must bring your own). Nor does the leaf course offer the
in-studio test at the end, which I think is a great idea.

I think that this was the
best workshop I have ever taken. I have taken other C1
Pro and Leaf workshops and this one was the best of all.
More information was covered and then any other. It was
also great to have the hand book to take home.

This was a great workshop. I
can tell that a lot of hard work went into putting it
together and I learned a ton. A great instructor, he knows
his stuff very well and he has very good communication
skills. Because there is so much to learn in two days I
wouldn't have minded starting an hour earlier, after all
most of us are already assisting and we are used to long
days and early call times. The hands on photo shoot
simulation was essential. Overall this was a great
experience. I think you guys should go on tour. Thank you
James.

This
was great. It really helped fill in the holes technology
wise, and I've taken other workshops.
I work with a lot of photographers who prefer to work as
their own techs and want an assistant with digital
knowledge, and have had limited experience with the Phase
One backs. I had only worked with the software a few times,
just bumbling along until it seemed to work. This made it a
lot easier, and I feel much more confident. - Anonymous

This
was a very informational experience for me well worth the
price of admission, I will definitely recommend it to
others. Keep up the good work. - Anonymous comment

I think that overall you guys covered everything you there
is to cover. I think that the most valuable part of workshop
besides the software training is actually the hands on with
the H1, RZ, and the Hassi. I think that you did a great job
in trying to give everyone a live test to actually make them
think and work on the spot. Overall, I was very impressed
and it was everything I expected. Thanks. - Anonymous

All and
all it was a great class. I took the {Co. name edited}
course, which was horrible. All they do is charge $375 to
read off the manual and send you on your way. Waste of
money......
It was great to hear from an actual assistant, and the real
experiences that go on... The instructor was fantastic and
very personable....
Thanks Guys!!!! - Anonymous comment
What
James has created is great.
There is currently nothing like this anywhere in the U.S. No
one else is letting you use the cameras and the software at
the same time.
Again James/NYC. has his finger on the pulse of the industry
and sets the standard. - Anonymous comment
