Employees in the cinema – that means you, right? – you are expected to be responsible for the quality experience of your patrons. Even if you don’t think so, the patrons think so.
A key component to responsibility is knowledge.
Whether the topic is safety or the quality of the picture and sound presentations, non-technical employees have rarely had an opportunity to grow in the field that they are surrounded by. That changes with these courses. The road to accomplishing technical judgement begins now.
The internet is filled with jargon and old data…and junk…and distractions. Sometimes the info is correct, but it is just presented at too high a level too fast.
These courses are meant to train from the ground up, avoiding those usual internet terrors, but only to those who are interested. Please – Have Fun.

Accessibility Equipment
Some of our customers use the large speaker systems to know what the actors are saying, some read the words with special "closed caption" equipment...some listen to special tracks on headphones. The equipment is called Accessibility Equipment. We have to understand it and test it to make certain our customer gets the best experience possible.

Emergencies
Life happens in real time. Sometimes we read about it. More rarely, we are there. And after, we wish that we could have practiced a little bit before being thrown into it.
