 Introduction Minimize

Training is undertaken in our Show Room located at Avolites in Park Royal, London.

The Show Room is equipped with a variety of fixtures, for example; Clay Paky, Robe, and Martin.
There is also a rig of generics connected to Avolites dimmers.
This, combined with the Avolites ‘Visualiser’, allows you to train using the real world fixtures.

The training program is structured but informal and normally run with up to six people per course.

There is an overwhelming response from past trainees that the investment in an Avolites training course has improved marketability and productivity of their freelance services.

Training courses are one-day and run most weeks Tuesday - Thursday.
Please allow plenty of time before booking as we do get very busy.
If you are interested in training, please contact
Emma Thompson (our Training Coordinator) at :-

Training courses on Avolites dimming systems are arranged by special request.

We also run practice and programming sessions free of charge, for those with shows coming up using an Avolites console, or for those who just want to brush up their skills.

External training can be arranged in special circumstances, if you are interested in arranging this please email us.

 

  

 Courses Minimize

All courses are carried out at our offices in Park Royal, unless specifically arranged otherwise and run from 10am until 5pm. There is normally a maximum of 6 people per course, and places are booked on a first come, first served basis, so book as far in advance as you are able! Lunch is provided at around 1:30pm, and there will be tea and coffee available throughout the day. The course is tailored to the trainees on the day, and will be taken at your own pace, but follow the basic structure outlined below. It’s very hands-on, the only things you need to bring will be yourselves and maybe a note book, everything else is provided.

Onsite training

We do offer on site training for companies and venues with large groups of people that need training, generally five or more. With onsite training we come to you, using your own console and lighting rig. Additional consoles and Avolites manufactured equipment can be provided at no charge. The training can be tailored to suit your needs for the type of shows or events you do. Costs for on site training are often lower than the cost of sending five people to Avolites London.

We are also developing a UK “roadshow” programme – keep an eye out on our Facebook page for when we will be holding a free Titan training day near you!
