Lynda.com has a full complete curriculum available for both Apple Final Cut and Motion. You can pay $25 a month if you just want the lessons at your pace, or you can pay $50 a month if you want the lessons and the project files.
I have yet to meet the person who didn't get left behind in an area of learning during the conference because they were afraid to put up their hand and stop the class because they missed a point and fell behind from that point on.
I truly think that the days of trade shows and conferences are coming to an end. There used to be a real point to them decades past but today there are so many cheaper and better ways to learn that conferences are becoming a thing of the past.
Also, unless you are planning on writing a book, I have yet to see anyone gain an advantage from a certification program.
Save your money, go to Lynda.com. I would.
