Avolites Training Courses

Training courses are held either at our facility in North Creek New York, or arrangements can be made for training on-site at a location of your choice.

Training at Creative Stage Lighting’s facility runs from 10AM to 5PM Lunch is provided at 1:30pm, and there will be coffee and tea available throughout the day!

There is normally a maximum of 6 people per course, and places are booked on a first come, first served basis, so book as far in advance as you are able!

The courses are tailored to the trainees, and will be taken at your own pace, but follows the basic structure outlined on the following pages. It’s very hands-on, the only things you need to bring will be yourselves and maybe a note book, everything else is provided.
