Pacific Audio Visual Institute (PAVI) is accredited under the Private Career Training Institutions Act of British Columbia (PCTIA). At PAVI, our goal is to provide an educational environment conducive to the creation of audio and visual technical and business experts. We believe that technological skills and knowledge alone are not enough. To truly succeed in these highly competitive fields, students should graduate having learned that sensitivity to the creative process and the manner in which they interact with others is equally important to artistic and commercial acceptance.
PAVI not only provides top notch curriculum, instructors, and cutting edge facilities, but makes sure that each student is treated as an individual. The unique advantage of PAVI is that it provides a real world working situation where students can observe and interact in a professional environment.
PAVI currently offers diploma programs in Audio Engineering and Production, Game Design and 3D Animation, Film and Digital Arts, and Film and Music Business.
