The two-day course is geared toward experienced entertainment riggers looking to review and sharpen the math skills outlined by the Entertainment Technician Certification Program. The course examines mathematical principles through real world scenarios broken down and examined step by step with visual examples and instructor prompted problem solving. At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to identity the relevant mathematical principles and formulas and demonstrate their application in a variety of real world rigging scenarios.
