Here at A.C.T Lighting, we have a strong commitment to training and education in the use of our products.

This has particular importance when it comes to console training, however it permeates throughout everything we do: like talking users through simple programming issues over the phone, giving them a better understanding of the theory behind the practical application, all the way through to 2 day training courses held at our California or New Jersey offices or on site.

Being one of the premier lighting control consoles, grandMA training is a regular occurrence here at A.C.T Lighting, Inc. On average, we run classes every week introducing programmers and designers to the virtually limitless possibilities that the grandMA range offers. In general, the courses we run are with small groups of people or 1 to 1 rather than having a classroom environment. No more than 2 users to a console is our strong recommendation. This allows students to feel more comfortable and under less pressure. Training days normally start at 9.00am and finish around 4.00pm.

Our training seminars typically fall into 3 categories- for convenience, we seperate these into three levels:

Level 1 Training
Duration: 1 Day
Cost: $300
Gives trainees an introduction to the principles and basics of working with the console. This course is ideal for people wanting to know what the console can offer or for those who will not necessarily be programming.

Level 2 Training
