The autumn training schedule kicked off last month with White Light's popular Level 1 and Level 2 Moving Light courses, Level 1 offering an introduction to the equipment with first-level troubleshooting, with Level 2 offering a more detailed analysis of troubleshooting and repair. These courses will also be run on 19 and 20 March 2008.
For those looking to programme lighting, White Light will offer courses covering the ever-popular Whole Hog 2, the Whole Hog 3, MA Lighting's grandMA, Zero88's LeapFrog and Strand's 500-series console ranges. The Hog 2 courses will be held on 23 October 23 and 5 February (level 1) and 24 October and 6 February (level 2); the Hog 3 courses, run in association with High End Systems, will be held on 12 November (level 1) and 13 (level 2). The grandMA courses will be held on 6 November (level 1) and 7 (level 2). The Strand courses will run on 11 and 12 December (level 1) and 13 and 14 (level 2), while the LeapFrog course runs on 15 January.
In each case, the level 1 course will provide an overview of the basic functions of the console together with set-up and patching, with the level 2 course covering advanced programming techniques and more advanced ways of running the console. Level 2 course are best suited for those who have some familiarity with the console or who have already completed the level 1 course. All of these courses will be held at White Light's base in Wimbledon, south-west London.
In addition, White Light will be running a three day Rigging Course on 29-31 October. Run in association with Total Training, the course will cover principals of lifting, safe systems of work, basic rigging as well as the associated health and safety law. This course will take place at the Total Training base in Birmingham.
