Bergen, Norway— 21 November 2024 — Vizrt, the leader in real-time graphics and live production solutions for content creators, announces the launch of brand new Viz Artist Professional and Expert certifications via Viz University.
Viz University is Vizrt’s learning platform offering customers, partners, and freelancers a library of product and technology courses for training, upskilling, and certification.
From Professional to Expert
The revamped Viz Artist training helps designers start their certification journey with the “Certified Viz Artist Design Professional” curriculum. When ready to take their skills to the next level, they can choose from several expert certifications, covering specialized topics such as Transition Logic Design or the Viz Artist Unreal Engine Integration.
“As dynamic on-screen graphics prove to capture the attention of the younger generation, skilled designers, trained in innovative technology such as Viz Artist, are going to be crucial. Vizrt believes in democratizing technology to empower all creators while supporting the needs of our customers through constantly evolving products and services. This was our motivation behind creating, and launching the new certifications for Viz Artist, which has something for everyone to learn,” says Griet Johannsen, Global Center of Excellence Lead, Training & Certification, Vizrt.
Consisting of online courses, exams and assignments, the new concept promises faster learning across specific topics to master complex tasks and workflows. The Viz Artist programs will also now be in module format to ensure that full-time designers can learn at their own pace and complete each course without unnecessary time pressures and constraints.
“The need for skilled creatives is increasing as content creators adapt to meet the evolving needs of audiences. To keep viewers engaged, we are seeing a shift from traditional formats to more dynamic on-screen graphics such as virtual sets, augmented reality, and complex 3D animations. The new Viz Artist Certification Program aims to support designers in honing these sought-after skills, expanding the talent pool for the media tech industry,” remarks Vanessa Walmsley, Chief Commercial Officer, Vizrt.
