Los Angeles, CA (October 19, 2026)—Mihai Boloni, ProMedia Training’s director of training, has become the first professional Solid State Logic (SSL) certified instructor in the U.S.
The certification, recognizes Mihai’s successful completion of SSL’s newly developed instructor qualification process.
SSL developed its instructor certification program to ensure that students receive training directly aligned with the company’s engineering philosophies, workflows and technical standards. Rather than adapting existing materials, SSL built the program from the ground up, developing official curriculum, certification testing and instructor qualifications in collaboration with its own engineering and education teams.

Mihai’s certification builds on a career spanning more than two decades in professional audio education. Since 2002, he has helped develop and deliver certification programs for working audio professionals, contributing to the evolution of Avid Pro Tools training while leading ProMedia Training’s educational initiatives for engineers, producers, postproduction professionals and broadcasters around the world.
“SSL has always been recognized for doing things the right way,” said Mihai. “They don’t simply put their name on a training program—they built this certification from the ground up to reflect the same engineering principles and professional standards that have defined the company for decades. It’s an honor to be among the first certified instructors, and we’re excited to help bring that knowledge directly to engineers through ProMedia Training.”
