The Training Department has partnered with Creative Technology (CT) to deliver a foundation-level training course for junior production managers.
The course is designed to equip participants with the technical knowledge needed to oversee audiovisual delivery of live, virtual and hybrid events. It is delivered at Creative Technology’s UK training facility in Sussex and covers the fundamentals of video, audio and lighting.
Joe Chilvers, founder of The Training Department, said: “Starting out in this industry can be intimidating, especially when you haven’t had the chance to get hands-on with the technology. Through Creative Technology’s facilities, we’re able to move beyond theory and give people the chance to see the equipment up close. That practical experience is invaluable, and it’s what will help turn knowledge into confidence.”
Sid Lobb, managing director, UK at Creative Technology, said: “Supporting skills development across the live events industry is critical to its long-term success. This partnership with The Training Department allows us to open up our facilities, technology and expertise to emerging production talent, giving them a realistic understanding of how professional AV is delivered at scale.”
The Training Department was founded by the team behind The Production Department and delivers skills training for production managers working across corporate events and live experiences.
