As many countries slowly lift confinement restrictions, L-Acoustics will re-open in-person education programs this month.
Simultaneously, to complement in-person training and to offer the greatest flexibility to users, L-Acoustics is pre-launching a new Online Education Platform.
The first program on the platform is a complete, but remote, version of its renowned System Fundamentals training, a prerequisite for all other L-Acoustics training modules. In 2019, L-Acoustics hosted training courses in 60 countries, completing 670 training days and awarding 6,000 certificates. Of these, 240 training days and 2,400 certificates were for the Systems Fundamentals course.
“This education platform will foster the creation of a learning community where participants can share questions and develop a useful network of L-Acoustics users, as well as benefiting from the expertise of the instructors and the other trainees,” explains Etienne Corteel, director of education & scientific outreach. L-Acoustics.
The online Systems Fundamentals course provides an overview of what an L-Acoustics system is, including electronics, loudspeakers and software, and puts them into the perspective of a global project workflow. The course is structured around the full, in-person training, and grants participants the exact same industry-recognized certification. The course is personalized, beginning with a virtual class, followed by several days where participants complete e-learning courses and practical exercises on Soundvision and LA Network Manager. During this week, participants access an online community room to exchange with classmates or pose questions to the instructor. A second virtual classroom closes out the program, with the trainer correcting the exercises submitted by students, followed by tips and feedback.
“The online System Fundamentals course is a great opportunity for us to try new collaborative and interactive learning methods for the L-Acoustics Education program,” comments François Montignies, head of education programs at L-Acoustics.
“It allows us to continue offering the same level of industry-leading training to the widest possible audience, and to meet the evolving needs of our users.”
