# Virtual Catwalk Specialist

> The PhotoRobot Academy specialty track for on-model fashion capture with the Catwalk.

Category: Training and certification.

Virtual Catwalk Specialist is a specialty certification track, not the device: it trains operators and studio managers who run the PhotoRobot [Virtual Catwalk](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/virtual-catwalk). It is one of the five specialty tracks of the Academy.

## How PhotoRobot uses it

The track has 4 modules: device and workflow concepts, working with live models, continuous studio lighting for motion, and scenarios with post-production and delivery. It requires Operator Standard and Studio Manager Essentials and is available to studios with a Catwalk installation.
