Santa Monica, CA — November 10, 2025 — AudioGraph International (AGI), with a long-standing history as an Official AVID Pro Tools Certification Center since 1993, proudly announces its official recognition as an Authorized Hands-On Training Partner by Audinate/Dante. This achievement underscores AGI’s commitment to providing 100 percent practical education in audio technology and immersive sound on a global scale.
— Chilitos Valenzuela, Founder & Director, AudioGraph International
“I believe Audinate has done an excellent job certifying those who wish to work in this type of profession within the entertainment industry, but it needs to offer a more hands-on training experience,” said Chilitos Valenzuela, founder of AudioGraph International and a pioneer in professional audio education. “Since I began learning about the Dante platform, I’ve noticed that many people say, ‘I’m Dante Certified,’ but few dare to reach Level 3. At AGI, we take that step into real practice—our training ensures that students with at least a Dante Level 1 certification can put their knowledge into action.”
Setting a New Standard for Hands-On Dante Training in California
Audinate offers Dante Certifications Levels 1, 2, and 3 online, and now students with at least a Dante Level 1 certification can gain practical, real-world experience applying their knowledge and skills at AudioGraph International’s Dante-equipped facility in Santa Monica, California.
With decades of experience training professionals in audio post-production, music mixing, and networked audio systems, AudioGraph International (AGI) continues to lead the way by combining bilingual instruction (English and Spanish) in small groups of up to five students with the use of cutting-edge Dante equipment and fully hands-on projects.
This new partnership with Audinate expands AGI’s educational offerings to include the “Dante: One Connection, Endless Possibilities” program—a series of interactive, hands-on courses designed to help engineers, musicians, and technicians master the future of digital audio networking.
We invite the AudioGraph International community to stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding hands-on Dante course dates in Santa Monica, CA..

The post is interesting because it shows how certification and training partnerships can help set new standards in a technical field. I like how it highlights progress through structured learning and official recognition, which makes complex audio systems more accessible. As a student, I once worked on a group tech presentation where we had to understand system networking basics, and around that time I was also helping a relative look into homeowners insurance Texas while balancing coursework. That experience made me see how both technical learning and real-life responsibilities depend on clear information and careful decision making.
Congratulations on becoming an official authorized training center recognition like this usually reflects sustained technical rigor and trust. It’s interesting how formal validation matters across fields; even in writing, discussions around Manuscript editing for journal submission often reference communities like Academic Editors when people are trying to understand quality standards rather than sell anything.
