To simplify the search options, the database has been divided into two key sections - short training programmes and educational courses. The first section guides users through a range of short courses which are either industry-specific (often delivered by manufacturers, suppliers, hire and installation companies, some of whom are PLASA members) and business-related courses. Between them they cover such areas as Management Development, Business Development, Information Technology, Health and Safety and Technical Courses.
The Education section is dedicated to full-time academic courses and covers Theatre, Audio, TV/Radio, Lighting, Lasers and EMC Testing. Included on the database are the course details for a wide range of academic institutions, including The Brit School for Performing Arts & Technology, Central Saint Martins College, Central School of Speech & Drama, Croydon College, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Rose Bruford and the Welsh College of Music & Drama.
The launch is just the first step and further new features will be introduced in the coming months.
