Sales director Giorgio Biffi comments, "Following sales to a number of high profile clients, we realised that it was a good idea to open a training facility here in Italy as we have all the engineers available to convey and answer any technical questions that our customers may ask, we can also show them our manufacturing process from start to finish."
The course which lasts for two days contains theory and practical modules and culminates in a formal qualification allowing the engineer to use Outline's propriety software (VIP) and gain an accreditation known as VIPA. For riggers, Outline offers the SYSTEC accreditation thus recognising their contribution to the live arena and allowing them to rig and fly Outline Butterfly both safely and effectively.
Among the first students on the course through the new facility were a group from UK-based Britannia Row Productions.
