Parent or Employer?

 

Parents seeking alternatives to a traditional college education for their children should consider this a vocational education opportunity. Employers that have invested in AV for their businesses should consider these classes as basic training for techniocians.
Not all students are going to be successful at this vocation or in this program. It takes and understand of some science and math. It takes a student who can stay on task and meet deadlins, and it takes students capable of self-motivation and or self-directed work habits. In all cases, we will help students choose the appropriate level of study and monitor all students performance.
Meeting deadlines, producing documents, and writing descriptive papers are all a part of the course work in this curriculum and are essential to measuring student learning outcomes. This is important because it's also a fundamental part the professional responsibilities of an AV Technician. Your student doesn't have to be a mathematician to excel, but an interest in science and math is a real plus.

All of the above statements hold true if you are an employer looking to train your staff. Don't invest in technology and expect your staff to be able to self-train to operate it effeciently. A far better solution is to include a small budget for training your staff in the basics. Production Institute classes are affordable and produce fast results in learning outcomes.

Live Audio and A/V technologies are ubiquitous these days throughout the American landscape. Well-trained technicians and sound engineers ensure a high level of customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is the only thing that justifies the high costs of these systems and equipment. We base our training on our own paths through our careers and have developed the practical resources for a "guided" learning experience.

 

We teach young people the methodology we have developed through long practice in the industry and ground them in the fundamentals of the math and science behind lighting and sound design. Only this combination of practical skill, fundamental knowledge, and experience produce engineers and designers that excel at what they do and become artists in their own right.

 

After students have completed an online course like this, they will be well prepared to attend a more advanced learning institution.

 

A student that completes these classes will be well-positioned to gain an entry-level job at a production company.

When I talk about long hours and hard work, I'm not kidding or being retorical. The entertainment industry demands a lot from it's craftspeople. It's also a privileged and pampered environment to work in usually. You'll certainly never go hungry working in the entertainment industry!

 

It's a very well-paid job for those that can maintain their focus and professionalism. We take the time to instill customer service skills in our students as well. We are convinced that good customer service is as important as any other skill set.
