Upcoming Courses
Networks for Entertainment Course (1 day)
Date: 3rd March 2026
Working in conjunction with West Training Services Ltd. – An introduction course for those who are new to using networks in entertainment. This course covers “the essential things you need to know” to get started with a simple lighting or sound network on a show.
The course contains numerous practical exercises so trainees can try out the concept being talked about and see how their routing works. Using both lighting and sound systems as examples, students get a hands-on approach to building their first networks.
