This certificate of completion will provide students with the basic technical skills to put on a wide variety of live events, both in-person and virtual, from plays and concerts to conventions, weddings and festivals – anywhere there are live performers or speakers on stage. Employers of all kinds need people who can set up sound, lighting, staging and livestream video broadcasting of such events, and who can provide other support such as event promotion, ticket sales and access. To meet such employers, students will practice these skills within real-life performance contexts, via internships with our world-class network of partner organizations that produce performing arts and cultural events throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
This Certificate of Completion consists of 3 courses. Students who want to go further can continue on to pursue Colorado Mountain College’s Advanced Theatre and Event Production Certificate of Occupational Proficiency by taking 3 additional courses. Students can utilize CMC’s 2-Year Course Plan to see when the courses are planned to be offered.
Each certificate can stand alone for those who are not seeking a degree, and both can be fully embedded within our transferable Associate of Arts (AA) degree so that students could also apply this certificate to a Bachelor degree. Please consult with an advisor for information on these options, and please note that Certificates of Completion by themselves are not approved by the State of Colorado for occupational education or transfer.
The Certificate of Completion in Theatre & Event Production Basics is available at Colorado Mountain College in Spring Valley at Glenwood Springs.
