Firms & agencies — train and certify your own bench.
Court reporting firms, litigation support agencies, and law-firm in-house video teams use the Firm program to standardize quality, accelerate onboarding, and put a credential on every bid.
Stop scrambling for videographers.
If you operate a court reporting firm, a litigation support agency, or an in-house video team at a law firm, the chronic problem is the same: finding qualified videographers — especially outside major metros, especially on short notice. You can either keep recruiting and training one at a time, or you can build a credentialed bench.
How firm membership works.
One Firm-tier account ($499/year) covers unlimited employee Professional memberships. Bulk certification seat pricing (CDVS, CEVS, CTTS) starts at 5 seats. Firms also receive the AGCV Certified Firm quality mark for marketing, a featured listing on the firm partner page, and the co-marketing pipeline that routes work to certified firms.
What firms get out of certifying their bench.
Three things. (1) A consistent quality floor across freelancers — fewer client complaints, faster onboarding, less rework. (2) A marketable differentiator — "AGCV-Certified" on a proposal carries weight with clients comparing vendors. (3) Recruitment leverage — credentialed candidates prefer firms that pay for the credential.
How the AGCV Certified Firm mark works.
Firms with at least 50% of their active video roster holding a current AGCV credential, in good standing, may display the AGCV Certified Firm mark on their site, proposals, and marketing. The mark is renewed annually. Misuse triggers a written notice and a 30-day cure period before removal.
Custom training options.
For firms with 10+ certifying employees, AGCV offers firm-specific onboarding modules layered on top of the standard CDVS curriculum. Common add-ons include firm-specific deliverable formats, intake protocols, billing line items, and brand-aligned client communication. Email firms@agcv.com to scope a program.
