Course Descriptions

Standard training

This entry-level training course covers all of the basics of the Pharos system, including fixture layout, patching, timeline programming, and controller configuration. After this training, you will be able to setup a project, including basic system integration, and set up an interface for a Touch Panel Controller.

This course is offered free of charge, and will normally run on the last Thursday of every month in our London office.

Remote single and multi-day trainings may have a slightly modified curriculum and have a nominal fee. Please review the additional information inside the event’s booking page.

Advanced training (full day)

This training is for those looking to take their projects to the next level.

The first half of these sessions will cover advanced topics across the entire Pharos software and hardware offerings (e.g. scripting, custom presets and custom web interfaces). The second half of the day will take the form of a workshop where you’ll have the chance to experiment on different Pharos hardware, with a member of our team present to answer questions and give tips.

This course will normally run on the second Tuesday of every other month in our London office. Please note there is a nominal charge for this course.

Setting up large projects (half day)

This intermediate-level training will focus on tips, tricks and best practices for setting up large projects (>10 universes). The LPC X and VLC will be covered in detail, as well as protocols, importing and exporting data, and a workshop including hands-on practice with a 20+ universe installation.

This course is available for users that have completed the basic training or have prior Pharos project experience.

Focus on Touch Panels (half day)

The TPC and TPS offer powerful, customisable user interfaces. The TPC has flexible lighting control built-in, and both products can act as interfaces to other controllers in a larger Pharos system.

This course is focused on how to get the most out of your TPC/TPS, including themes, triggering possibilities, variables and basic scripting.

This course is available for users that have completed the basic training or have prior Pharos project experience.
