Offered at the Levelland Campus.

The Sound Technology Advanced Certificate is designed to provide individuals with advanced coursework that covers the knowledge and skills needed for entry-level positions in professional audio, including audio production and post-production facilities such as recording studios, film and television studios, and electronic media production studios. Graduates will possess knowledge of techniques, procedures, and operation of equipment used in the studio recording industry. This includes training in selection and placement of microphones, analysis of acoustical environments, use of effects, troubleshooting, engineering, and production techniques. Completion of the certificate curriculum meets the requirements for the Sound Technology Advanced Certificate, which can be applied toward completion of the AAS in Sound Technology, but will also require completion of 15 hours of core courses and TSI compliance. To qualify for the Advanced Certificate the student must complete a Capstone Experience in the final semester of the program.

The Sound Technology Advanced Certificate prepares students to enter an occupation where electrical safety is a critical competency and will require all students to successfully complete a program-specific safety examination prior to participating in laboratory activities. Safety examination includes written and practical “hands-on” preparation, demonstration, and safe operation of occupational processes and equipment. 

Certificate advisors based upon student’s last name:  A-G:  Stuart Moody, Dept. Chair, and Professor of Sound Technology; H-O:  Chris Neal, Program Coordinator, and Professor of Sound Technology; P-Z:  Rudolfo Guardiola, Associate Professor of Sound Technology.
