Technical Training by PORT

Introduction

If you are like many of the schools and organizations we work with, the shutdowns and reduced event schedules of the last few years have left many stages and facilities without their next generation of Stage, Lighting, and AV Managers after losing so many to graduation and career moves.

PORT can help with training customized to your facility's equipment and get your new team up to speed on your equipment or theatrical systems.

Your Commitment:

A typical class runs about 4 hours at your location and costs $500. Additional travel fees MAY apply for destinations greater than 60 minutes of travel from our Seabrook, NH location.
