The Conservatory recently became the first school in the world to offer the JBL VerTec Series manufacturer certification when 64 students and 2 staff members received training and certificates in the operation and setup of the system. JBL Product Manager for Tour Sound Products, Raul Gonzalez taught the class in the Conservatory’s 6,000 sq. ft. live sound classroom that features the company’s popular VerTec Series tour sound system. “Keeping the students trained on the latest gear is one of our prime directives here at the Conservatory,” says Administrator Kirt Hamm. “Our grads are eminently employable because of the strength of our curriculum and certification programs.”
The school now offers certificates in the operation of Pro Tools (210M Operator Certificate), Antares Auto Tune, SIA Smaart software, TC Electronic System 6000 and M3000, Apple Logic Pro 7 and more. The JBL certification will now be added to the list currently taught at Conservatory, giving the 800+ students that come through the school’s doors every year the opportunity to be adept in the theory and operation of the system.
