GECKO to host European delegation at "Sound Technology Event" at the WCR FM studios in Wolverhampton on the 5th July

Gecko Programmes is going to host the TeBeVAT [Validation of informal learning in the professional field of event technicians] project closure event in Wolverhampton on the 5th July 2018.

We will not try to explain “TeBeVAT” in German, but suffice to say the project is about confirming the competence of sound engineers across Europe. These professionals are famous for their ability and also for their lack of qualifications. There are wonderful stories of how people came to be sound engineers.  How many you ask? One ,two..One..One, Two…One

The event will feature presentations on the tools developed by the project, and how they can be used in the entertainment technology industry.

TeBeVAT is a pilot study about identification, recognition, assessment and validation of informal and non-formal competences and skills for occupations within the entertainment technology industry.
