The new site offers a more visual and informative view of the activities of the Training operation, complete with testimonials from students of its intensive 12-week Live Sound Technology Course. To offer more flexibility in its training opportunities, Britannia Row has now developed some new courses for 2015 based on the core elements of its 12 week course.
Live Sound Basic PA Course: A 2-day course on the basics of setting up small PA systems. Taught over two consecutive weekends, the course covers a simple PA system from A-Z in the first day and a half, with the final afternoon spent hands-on, including mixing using multi-track playback machines. Live Sound Fundamentals: A 15 x 1-day modular course taught over consecutive weekends, plus an assessment day, this course teaches entry-level fundamentals for those wanting to work in live sound as semi-professionals, or in a local venue or small sound or AV company. Each session can also be taken as an individual stand-alone module for those wanting to brush-up on a particular subject. Live Sound Intermediate: A 15 x 1-day modular course taught over consecutive weekends, plus an assessment day, this course is designed for those who have taken the Live Sound Fundamentals Course and wish to go onto the next level, or those with hands on live sound experience who would like further training to reach the next level. Again, each session can be taken as an individual stand-alone module. Live Sound Technology Course: A full-time, intensive 12-week course with over 440 hours of training and hands-on practice. It embraces all elements of the Basics, Fundamentals and Intermediate courses plus much, much more. The course aims to get people into work at a professional level, and is particularly useful for overseas students for whom a part-time course is impractical. Barry Bartlett, course director, says: "Britannia Row Productions Training exists right at the heart of the live production industry, giving students direct exposure to the latest professional audio equipment, procedures and techniques being used in the real world."
