But before you put on your harness and start climbing the wire rope ladder to the arena steel, make sure you understand how to protect yourself and those around you. The STEADI course provides you with fundamental skills used to support the lead rigger and teaches you situational awareness when working around the rigging enviornment. We're here to guide you.

Electrics

In live event production, the electricians take care of everything that plugs in including lighting, control, automation, and a lot more. There's nothing more invigorating than helping to put together a state-of-the-art lighting and video system and watching it come to life before a live audience. With the STEADI course, you can be a part of it if you have a basic understanding of electrics and a healthy dose of hands-on training and experience. By the time you finish the STEADI course you'll be ready to contribute confidently to the crew and start building a career in live event production doing what you always wanted to do.
