Local 16’s Trainings Keep the Community Fabric Connected

IATSE Local 16 started offering the TTF Safety First! trainings in late September and the membership loves it! They were fortunate to be able to use their own streaming/video recording studio to present Instructor Led Training. They even adapted the COVID-19 course to this format by slowing down and discussing each portion together, thoroughly, before moving along. It made sense and Vice President and Training Director Danny Borelis feels the courses were very well received.

With an average of 45-65 attendees per course, Local 16 realized they typically needed twice the expected time to complete each course. We encourage locals to adapt the TTF Safety First! courses to their needs and to allow more time for comprehensive topic discussions, especially when course participation rates are high.

IATSE Local 16 is currently offering a robust schedule of trainings, in addition to creating a video reference library of materials. These include Basic Audio Fundamentals, Video Switchers, Helixnet, Freespeak, Analogway Pulse I & II, OSHA 10/GES, and even the classroom portion of MEWP Safety Certifications.

An Instructor Led Training (ILT) version of the COVID-19 course as well as an updated version of the individual course will be available soon.
