Britannia Row Productions Training Achieves Status to Accept International Applicants

	Training center at Britannia Row Productions Training

Britannia Row Productions Training has been granted the status of "Approved Candidate for Accreditation" by the British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education (BAC), as a Short Course Provider. This is the outcome of an inspection carried out by the BAC prior to Britannia Row Productions Training's opening.

This status allows applicants from outside the EU/EEA for the live sound technology course to apply for a student visitor visa in order to attend the course at the company's training center in London, UK.

In July 2013 Britannia Row Productions Training started its first 12-week live sound technology course. The intensive full-time course is the first of its kind and is based on full integration of theoretical and practical training made possible by the dedicated training center.

The BAC's inspection -- as the next step in Britannia Row Productions Training's development -- verified its arrangements as a training provider in terms of staffing, management, teaching, facilities, and quality assurance. This has now opened up the course to non-EU applicants.

Managing director Matthias Postel comments: "We highly value the feedback and verification that the BAC has provided as part of the detailed accreditation process. It confirms the approach we took when we established Britannia Row Productions Training to provide quality and professional training relevant for the live sound industry."

"The news that visas can be obtained for this course will be especially important for people who intend to join us from abroad, as we have received substantial interest from around the world ever since we started promoting Britannia Row Productions Training."

The Live Sound Technology course is supported by L-Acoustics, Yamaha, Midas, Shure, Turbosound, and Blackout who have worked on the room acoustics.

Qualifying trainees at the end of each course will be awarded a certificate in live sound technology.

The next Live Sound Technology Course starts at the beginning of October 2013.

Britannia Row Productions Training is an initiative by Britannia Row Productions, an audio rental company, providing equipment and skilled technicians for a wide variety of events and tours throughout the world.
