   We are training the next generation of AV professionals! The Moodle course management system is a remote/distance learning solution for teachers and students in the web-connected world we work in!Classes are suited for a wide range of candidates. From fundamental courses for high school seniors and entry-level operators all the way to advanced concepts for novice operators who need to raise their skills to the next level.Over 40 classes are offered to suit any experience level. They include-A 26-week program designed for high school vocational education programs-A 9-week course for entry-level techs or stagehands working in Houses of Worship, convention centers, and community theaters, for example-An 8-week course for mid-level techs and operators who need to level up.The Moodle is available in any browser or mobile device and keeps students connected to the learning process well beyond the classroom.Using my 30 plus years of experience as an audio engineer, I\'ve designed and written the curricula for these classes created the source materials and videos for my YouTube channel. In addition to creating the curricula and producing the source material, I am a Power-User/Admin of the Moodle CMS system. I have deployed Moodle in several different server environments. As with any modern software system, Moodle requires constant attention to maintain a lean database, keep the site secure and limit any exposure of IP or personal info. The Moodle can be adapted to teach any subject. If your organization needs to deliver training and development, please contact me for a consultation.
