Specialist for event technology

Are you interested in the organisational and technical processes behind the scenes and have always wanted to know how lighting and sound are brought to the stage? Do you like planning and at the same time enjoy working with your hands? Training as an event technology specialist offers you all these possibilities.

What does an event technology specialist actually do?

As event specialists, you will be at the heart of the action at concerts, trade fairs, theatre productions, sporting events and events of all kinds. You will learn how to set up, operate and maintain stage, sound, lighting, video and media technology and plan and organise the necessary technical processes.

You will be available as a contact person and consultant for your customers and accompany events from a creative, economic, technical and organisational point of view.

How does the training work?

The apprenticeship lasts three years. An intermediate examination takes place before the end of the second year of training and the final examination takes place after the third year, both in written and practical form.
You will be trained in the media technology and production department, lecture theatre and event technology division and attend the BBS Technik in Cloppenburg for the school-based part of the training.

What requirements do I need to fulfil?

In addition to a good secondary school leaving certificate, you should be enthusiastic about working as an event technology specialist. A basic interest in scientific and technical processes is just as much a prerequisite as enjoyment of manual work.

Who will train me?

In addition to our master craftsman for event technology Kevin Heimbucher, the practical training is supported by many dedicated employees from the media technology and production department.

in the first year of training 1,236.82 euros

The weekly working time is 39.8 hours and the holiday entitlement is 30 days per year.
