It is expensive to being ETC to Canada. We are trying to make this as affordable as we can for all. If you fly to NY or LA to take these courses from ETC they will charge you $165USD which is currently ~$227CAD.
- The base rate is $295 per day, we have changed ticket suppliers, so this year: No Eventbrite fees.
- If you are a member of CITT/ICTS or Theatre Alberta you get 20% off ($236). Current or recent Students also qualify!
- Be sure to check with your employer, if they are a member of CITT/ICTS you can take advantage of preferred pricing by registering through them.
- CITT/ICTS and Theatre Alberta members should email alberta@citt.org to receive their discount code.
- For all others, we encourage you to sign-up for CITT membership and then register at the reduced rate. Registering will also give you access to discounts on future training opportunities. You can become a member for less than your savings for registering both days!
- If you belong to an IATSE local be sure to check with them, many locals offer partial reimbursement on qualified training. Yes, you will receive a certificate.
- If you really want to attend but the cost is a barrier, please reach out and we will work with you to come up with options.
All classes will be strictly limited to 16 seats to ensure plenty of hands on time with the console. There will be a maximum 2-people, per console so register soon to save your seat. This year the class will be taught on Ion XE consoles. ETC console software is the same across the entire Eos Family range so this is applicable for any Ion/Gio/Apex desk you may have.
ETCP Electrician Renewal Credits will be provided if required.
