Programme Overview

What This Programme Is About

Video editing is more than putting clips together. It is the process of shaping footage into a clear story, keeping viewers engaged, and preparing videos that look and sound ready for publishing or client use.

Many people learn editing by copying templates or using software features without understanding why each cut, sound adjustment, or export setting matters. The real advantage comes from knowing how to organise footage, pace a sequence, clean up audio, improve visuals, and deliver videos correctly for different platforms.

The Certified Video Editor programme helps learners build these skills through a structured editing pathway across mobile and desktop workflows. Learners develop the confidence to edit with intention, make stronger creative decisions, and deliver polished videos for social media, brand, client, and commercial use.

Certification Pathway

Participants who complete both modules and pass the required assessments in each will be awarded the Certified Video Editor certification issued by Equinet Academy.

To attain the full CVE certification:

  • Complete Module 1: Mobile Video Editing with CapCut (2 days, 16 classroom hours) and pass the module assessment to receive the Certificate of Completion
  • Complete Module 2: Video Editing with DaVinci Resolve (2 days, 16 classroom hours) and pass the module assessment to receive the Certificate of Completion
  • Pass all module assessments across the both modules: Case Study and Individual Project Presentation in each module

Each module can also be completed independently and carries its own Certificate of Completion by Equinet Academy. Learners who have already completed one of the modules may count those completions toward the CVE certification by completing the remaining module under the new structure.

Candidates who complete each module with at least 75% attendance and demonstrate competency in all assessments will receive the corresponding award for that module. Candidates who complete both modules will receive the Certified Video Editor certificate from Equinet Academy.
