SPECIAL WORKSHOPS
PATV schedules special workshops teaching various advanced production modes, media literacy, or other topics. These workshops will be announced to the PATV member list. Negotiable group rates are available for organizations or groups of three or more people who want to be trained together. These classes can also be arranged around your group’s schedule.
TESTING OUT OF WORKSHOPS
PATV members who are familiar with production equipment or software may wish to “test out” of a workshop rather than receiving instruction. To test out members will seek the approval of the staff, pay any applicable workshop fee, and then display a basic competence of skills with the equipment in question. At the discretion of staff, the member will either be immediately qualified to use the equipment, or will receive additional instruction.
