Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency in the above elements.

You will:

• plan and work in small production lighting teams in class 
• occasionally lead these teams 
• work in a small production lighting team along side other specialists in a professional or semi-professional setting

Details of Learning Activities

Please note that in 2020 this unit is clustered in delivery and assessment with Install and Test Lighting Equipment CUALGT303. The classes and Canvas shell will be called Install Lighting in Teams.

In this course, you will develop the skills and knowledge required to install and test lighting systems for bands, seminars and other live events in teams. You will learn to work autonomously and in a team environment as you take responsibility for creating quality lighting installations for live productions.

The course will be delivered through face-to-face classes which are practical and  use production lighting equipment and event rigging in RMIT's Radio Theatre where we will cover theory and work in teams to set-up, patch, problem solve, focus and pack down basic and standard event lighting systems.
