Certified Professional Filmmaker (CPF)

A certification is to ensure that a filmmaker’s knowledge, experience, and expertise has met the industry standards. It serves as a proof of a filmmaker’s professional competence.

To get a Certified Professional Filmmaker title, a filmmaker has to pass certain exams and submit a film or script.

A filmmaker can immediately follow the exams, or take a series of course before taking the exam. If you feel that your knowledge is inadequate, we highly recommend you to take a certification course (3 months on-line course or 3 days crash course).
