Apple training ??? Final Cut Pro ???

Question

Okay I looked at the Apple training site ( very vague ) then eventually discovered that to do self training I need to get some books from "Peach pit".
So far so good but I can not find any info as to what to study in terms of "I want to do an intense course of self study and I know zero about Final Cut Pro" Or who/where is the test's done , what the cost of the test's is and how frequently.
Also what time frame is involved in the study to test to certificate ? min time ? Do I need to wait for the next full moon to do a test or study , next day test , 3 days to get test score , then 3 days to certificate , and is the certificate acceptable in any other country or just the USA ?
If not acceptable in another country is it then not better to do it in that country or can an add on be done to be use full in Europe ?
It would have been so easy to go to the Apple training page and see there is the course , click a link for additional info. On this new page see this is the options for the course and this is what you need and how long it will take and if it will be accepted all around the world.

Answer 1

AZ for now.
Believe me I hate a piece of paper saying I have completed someone's idea about a product and is now familiar with their theory.
Problem is 12 years after leaving school having retired and reached successes that will only be bettered in 50 years according to my former lecturers I now need a piece of paper to make traveling easier as the noncreative community still believes a piece of paper give's you access to places or status and likely that is why the noncreative community barely makes enough money to buy a roll of toilet paper or $15k per month.
Q? about is the certificate useful outside America.
USA certificates mean nothing in any other country as to a believe about the schooling standards.
IE: USA University = several persons tired of reading some company's business card and paying $20k and spending 2 years having to hear the lecturers reading the business card to them went to Heidelberg Germany to go and do a real computer course.
They arrived there and was informed that the 12 years they have spend at school was completely wasted ??? They where informed they have to first go and learn English (reading and writing), math etc. and then come back and after then completing the entry test see if they will be able to keep up.
They then had to go to special classes to learn how to learn.
3 years later they where admitted to Heidelberg University and learned in 10 secs. what they learned at Devry in 2 years and their course + accom. + all expenses = $10k per year.
So solution is try some new direction get some certification as it does open doors and yes it is no testimony of one's skill.
