ORLANDO, FL — From March 5-7, Absen’s Orlando showroom was turned into a classroom as 26 technicians from 17 rental and staging companies participated in the inaugural Absen Certified Engineer (ACE) Training Program, the first program of its kind in the U.S. sponsored by a Chinese LED manufacturer. A second ACE training program will take place later this year.
More details from Absen (www.usabsen.com):
With a growing reputation and market share in the rental & staging field, Absen seeks to take the lead in both products and services. The technical training consisted of lectures and hands-on instruction on control software operation, brightness and color calibration, soldering, troubleshooting and more.
On the third day, all trainees took both written and hands-on tests. All participants with combined scores above 80 have been formally recognized as Absen Certified Engineers.
The second session of the 2014 ACE training program is scheduled in the second half of this year. Technicians, engineers and freelancers in the rental & staging industry are showing great interest in this program and consider the ACE certification to be a new credential, supplementing their professional qualifications in sound and lighting.
