UK - Artistic Licence Engineering Training Days continue to gain pace, with demand increasing for both in-house training and for on-site visits to theatres, manufacturers and installation companies.

The next in-house event is a DMX and RDM Training Day which takes place on Wednesday 30 November (10am - 4pm) at the head offices in Harrow. Only a few places remain. All training days are free of charge and lunch will be provided.

Other scheduled Training Days are as follows, with more dates being added to meet demand: DALI Training Wednesday14 March 2012 10am- 4pm; Art-Net Training Wednesday 4 April 2012 9.30am- 1.30pm.

Following attendance by one of its lighting staff to a fully subscribed Art-Net Training Day in Harrow, London's Royal Opera House has invited Artistic Licence Engineering to train the rest of its Lighting Visualisation team onsite at Covent Garden. A date has been set for January 2012 when up to 50 delegates will receive training tailored to their specific requirements.

Meanwhile, on 9 November, Schreder Group of Belgium held a full day of training for technical staff at SKILL (School of Knowledge in Light and Lighting), their education centre in Liege. Artistic Licence Engineering's Simon Hobday delivered general technical training on the DALI, DMX and Art-Net protocols, followed by an evening of workshops.

Wouter Wissink,of Schreder Group comments, "Simon demonstrated several products from Artistic which covered DMX to DALI and vice versa, ArtNet, splitters and wiring applications. People were then divided into groups to work on different exercises according to their level of experience. Those with almost no experience were given a simple exercise on DMX programming, while those with more knowledge were working on a DALI sensor network converting DMX to DALI and vice versa. The more advanced group had to connect DMX-driven products via ArtNet or a wireless network.

"The wireless network was particularly challenging, but everybody asked lots of questions and learned a great deal. Twenty-one people from 17 different countries attended the training day, so there was an added benefit in that people with more experience could teach the others and, most important, could get to know each other and build up the network within the company. I can say it was a very successful workshop, and would like to extend our thanks to Simon."
