Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) has announced a new certification program in the form of a collection of online courses focusing on the company’s loudspeakers and technologies, including ADAPTive Systems, the AC6 column loudspeaker and Resolution software, with future expansion to cover additional products and systems in the catalog.
The initial courses are available here. The first, ADAPTive Level 1 Training, explains the ADAPTive algorithm and takes an in-depth dive into each product. In the AC6 Level 1 Training, participants learn key features of the loudspeaker and how the technology inside can support audio professionals. The final course of the initial launch, Resolution 2 Core Training, walks through the software and shares an overview of how to build an acoustic model.
“As part of this training, students will learn more than just how to use EAW technology,” says Bryan DiFabio, technical training manager for EAW. “We cover why this technology exists and how it helps customers achieve optimal results. Understanding these two concepts makes for a better user experience.”
The new courses are the first step in obtaining official AC6 Certification or ADAPTive Systems Certification. Once online training is completed, the portal allows students to select an available Kevel 2 in-person training necessary to achieve certification.
Accessed through the EAW website, anyone can take the courses. Personalized accounts will track users’ completion status as they work through the available pieces of training. Each course will be broken up into consumable modules, with follow-up quizzes to confirm understanding and assess the technical knowledge of users. EAW also states that it plans to work with AVIXA to ensure passing participants receive certification for each skill learned.
“EAW is committed to supporting our customers with comprehensive training that adds value to their business,” says T.J. Smith, president of EAW. “Expect to see additional offerings and in-person training opportunities in the coming months.”
