"This seminar is an excellent review for the practicing entertainment electrician as well as a primer for the aspiring electrician," says Cadena. "It has enough detail and information to challenge the experienced among us but presented in such a way as to convey useful concepts to the less experienced with a minimum amount of math and complexity."
Former attendee Tony Hansen, LD/systems consultant with Techni-Lux, says of the course, "I learned more usable and appropriate knowledge here than I did in four years of college."
