The STEADI course is the actualization of Ed Wannebo and Sue Ullrich's shared vision for training which will help the "new guy/gal" engage in a career in live event production. We value:

 

• a positive attitude

• passion

• motivation to learn

• education that is relevant

• training that enhances one's confidence

• learning experiences that lead to employment

 

Sue and Ed convened a committee of industry experts and asked them "what do you think a new guy needs to know in order to be a safely functioning member of a production team".  In answering that question, the STEADI course was born.

 

Upon completion of the STEADI program you will have knowledge and skills to help you to:

• have a basic understanding of how the business works and its culture,

• be fluent in the language of the industry (both proper and slang),

• prepare you to work with entertainment electricity,

• provide support to the head rigger and to work in the rigging environment safely,

• demonstrate stage etiquette

• work around forklifts, trucks, docks and ramps.

   ...and much, much more

 

Most importantly, you will learn how NOT to be "that guy".

 

Both Ed and Sue are activley involved in every aspect of the delivery of the STEADI course to ensure program quality and relevance.
