My primary goal with these courses is to teach you how to "think like a professional". These classes are about building a foundation of knowledge based on the conventional wisdom of a professional engineers. Sound engineers, stagehands and AV technicians of all types have to provide their service at the highest level that's possible, all while doing the work safely and achieving professional results. My book, "The Fundamentals of Audio Engineering" is included in the price of the classes and it is essential reading. I have over 40 years of experience in the live event industry and like many from my generation, I can operate in several areas of live event productions. Master one job, but train to do many others. "You never know when you might save the show."
