Hello all,
My School has recently had an intake of about 10 techs. these people are more students interested in tech work as they have NO experience in this field. I have been asigned by the school to train them (as I am the new head tech) however I have not done this before and I am wondering what I should teach them and in what order.
I am reffering to tech as in lighting and sound (design and operation). What I am hopping is that I will start training them and then we will hopefully let them work their way to one area (we are hopping to get an even number in lighting and sound), I want to start training them in a few weeks time and I am just trying to work out what I train them and in what order I am thinking something along these lines. I want to get them learning how to use everything but i don't want to bore them to the point of leaving tech either.
So here is what I am hopping to teach them (in this order) Please let me know what you think or how you do it
At the end of the year I am hopping to get them to put together a show for themselves and their parents. just to show their parents what they have learnt. and also for a bit of fun.
Does anyone have any feedback on this program?
Any help would be greatly appriciated
many tanks

So here is what I am hopping to teach them (in this order) Please let me know what you think or how you do it
- group introduction (just so I learn their names and they learn eachothers)
- basic safety and rules (to stop them from being blown up)
- what is involved in this course
- what is involved in tech
- The tech behind this (eg, 3 phase)
- advanced safety (how to tell if that light is dangerous etc)
- introduction to lighting
- introduction to sound
- How to run a basic show (that is what these guys are for, running simple information nights by themeselves)
- and then more advanced lighting and sound
At the end of the year I am hopping to get them to put together a show for themselves and their parents. just to show their parents what they have learnt. and also for a bit of fun.
