I consider this to be ETC's best kept secret. They have a lot of tutorials and training info for their consoles. Anyone working on their lighting consoles should take a look at what they have to offer. I've listed what I've found so far.

Tutorial Movies (hosted on Youtube)

• Congo v6 (plus Jr.)
• Element
• Ion
• Smartfade ML

Educational DVD's

• Express
• Ion

Upcoming Training Sessions

• Eos
• Ion

All of the info on these different items can be found in ETC's Education Center.

While I have your attention, any Congo users out there can now update to v6.0.3. The mysterious bugs of v6.0.2 have been fixed and after intensive beta testing in over 30 sites the last couple months they have found this to be a stable release. All of the release notes and download links are available here.

Here are some other cool things I've found. Apparently ETC is big on Youtube.
