Adamson launches standardised education programme
Published: WORLD
WORLD: Adamson Systems Engineering has introduced a new educational programme to deliver a combined understanding of general live sound principles and product-specific training. The programme is offered to members of Adamson’s global network, as well as the public, and is tiered with modules aimed at all levels, from novice technicians to the world’s most reputed engineers.
‘While Adamson has long held training programmes at a variety of skill levels, we are now globally standardising our education programme to ensure our users can deliver the same level of quality worldwide,’ explained Jeremiah Karni, head of education at Adamson. ‘Sharing our extensive experience in designing and deploying loudspeaker systems with our users is very rewarding, and we value their feedback for the continuous improvement of our product range.’
The programme begins online with video tutorials and user handbooks, among other pre-training materials, that are designed to bring all participants to the same level before the in-person training commences. The in-person training then starts with a two-day Applied Certification course that will cover the framework required to properly design, deploy and control an Adamson loudspeaker system, using Blueprint AV simulation software and Lake Controller.
The next level comprises a three-day Advanced Certification course. This is aimed at touring engineers and integrators in particular, exploring more in-depth aspects of design and control. Those that complete this course are then advised to partake in the Adamson Certified System Engineer (ACSE) programme, for which a certificate of achievement is presented upon completion.
‘Education and training is a key component of the Adamson integrated system offering,’ noted Marc Weber, director of product and brand management. ‘Hands-on training and other educational initiatives like tutorial videos elevate the performance of Adamson products by optimising their application in the field. This improved performance is not only rewarding for the end users; it also increases the demand for Adamson products, maximises inventory utilization at rental companies, and enhances the lifetime return on investment for all of our partners.’
