LAS VEGAS – Although the ETCP Rigging-Arena and Entertainment examinations will be offered for the first time at InfoComm this year, the deadline for submitting applications to sit for the paper and pencil examinations is quickly approaching; all applications must be submitted to the ETCP office no later than May 7, 2010. Here's the schedule:
Entertainment Electrical Exam: June 9, 2010 (9:00 am)
Arena Rigging Exam: June 9, 2010 (2:00 pm)
Those who can't make it to InfoComm – or miss the May 7 application deadline – can apply to take an examination at a computer testing center. All ETCP exams are available at over 190 testing centers in the U.S. and Canada on most business days. Also, all examinations will be offered at the LDI Show in Las Vegas on October 22 and 23. The deadline for those exams will be September 24, 2010.
The Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP) provides testing for professional technicians who serve in lead positions as Arena Riggers, Theatre Riggers and Entertainment Electricians. Because of their commitment to a safer workplace, many venues and employers across North America are now requiring ETCP Certified Technicians for supervisory positions.
