As our industry is constantly progressing, we at MA Lighting believe that solid knowledge and constant learning are not only needed – they are essential. While shows are getting more and more complex these days, there is a constant need to always stay up to date. Software and features evolve. There is always something to learn and areas to improve.
The MA University
GrandMA Console Online Training
If you are new the grandMA lighting console and want to get started with the basics, grandMA offers a collection of instructional YouTube videos to demonstrate the basics of grandMA programming:
Another source of education is from MA Lighting.
MA provides a number of courses and access to training at their MA University. The focus can be on concerts, touring and live events OR theatre, musicals, television and film.
MA Lighting has this to say about their courses:
By providing comprehensive training programs, MA Lighting aims to offer its customers the best possible qualifications. This is particularly important when it comes to grandMA2 console and dot2 training; however, it is equally relevant when using an MA VPU (Video Processing Unit) or setting up a network via MA-Net2/MA-Net utilising the corresponding MA hardware solutions.
Our trainers are the best in their fields and teach with first-hand knowledge and experience. The topics are presented comprehensively and are illustrated in detail. To provide you with the best tutorial environments, the courses contain real equipment and products. The ratio of students to teachers is limited to make the process as comfortable and effective as possible. Trainings within the MA Lighting University are industry recognised, and attendees completing these successfully will receive a certificate.
Two strong elements form the basis of the MA University concept, aimed to deliver the best learning experience for you. Both elements of the MA University training concept – E-learning and hands-on training – offer multiple advantages. In combination, they guarantee the best possible learning experience and a sophisticated understanding of MA’s products and philosophies for you.
Don’t have access to a grandMA console? No problem. MA provide a PC version of the grandMA software which has all the functionality of the real thing.
Finally, learn from the best. Find a lighting programmer who uses a grandMA system, and request that they let you tag along on their next gig, or at least ask for a quick tutorial in a live situation.
