Multiplier Event 1 about the qualifikation as European Sound Specialist

Against the skills shortage of tomorrow: Help us developing the European Sound Specialist qualification. We need you – as a participant in our info event, as a multiplier of our idea and as a discussion partner while establishing the standard. We happily invite you to the presentation of our project for developing such a European standard. As a participant of this event, you will have the opportunity to add your experiences, wishes and demands to the vocational training program.

The ESSENCE ERASMUS project, funded by the European Union and led by the VDT, is working on a common European live sound qualification at EQF Level 5. The challenge is to adapt this new curriculum across Europe for all European vocational training systems to such an extent that the qualification works well and is accepted in the European Union in near future.

Look forward to a panel of the ESSENCE Group, a European strategic partnership of associations and education providers. We look forward to , participation is free of charge.
