IABM Training Academy is uniquely placed in offering training built by the industry and for the industry while not being tied to any vendor, manufacturer, communications service provider or broadcaster. The courses that we develop and offer are designed to help you build the knowledge and skills needed to be efficient and effective in our industry. They are open to all, so whether you are a new-starter, just need to develop and refresh Andrew Jones your knowledge or are the CEO of Head of Training one of our members looking to increase capabilities of your staff or even your clients, I hope that you find something of interest. We continuously improve and develop the programme, so if you have some feedback on an existing course or an idea or suggestion for additional training do contact me. Skills have never been more important in our industry as media companies serve audiences that want to view, read and listen on a multitude of devices wherever and whenever they want, with vendors and system integrators producing complex software, hardware and systems in response to this demand. We have training that is packaged for online delivery, as well as face-to-face informal presentations, Q&A sessions and tutorials from our expert trainers, and deliver a programme that spans classroom locations in Europe, North America and Asia. We can also quote to run our training at your location and of course, once you are set up on our Learning Management System, our online courses reach your desktop or anywhere else you have a broadband connection. Some larger companies rent online training in blocks, to use with their induction or apprenticeships as part of a blended programme. Having highlighted how important skills are, I’d like to commend the technical skills Certification programme which is independantly administered and regulated by our educational charity IABM Educational Foundation
2
www.iabmfoundation.org/Certification. It’s always good to show what you know! One of the best ways to do this is via the high-quality online examination process that the Educational Foundation runs, leading to the award of “Certified Broadcast & Media Technologist” at Associate, Practitioner and Professional level. People learn in many different ways, you don’t have to buy a training course or go to college to sit and pass these assessments, you don’t even have to travel to an assessment centre. The exams are available around the world, and you can sit them free of charge at the moment. If you work in procurement, communications service provision, quality control, staff recruitment, education or assessment do take a look at the certification and the syllabus the exams are built-on. They were designed to give you assurance of the knowledge and skills base of people you rely on to make your business work. See page 24 for more information. The plethora of new consumer devices and the ability of Information and Communication Technology to transport, store and process audio and video bring new services and more manufacturers and vendors into our sector. I’d like to particularly highlight our online course Understanding IP and File Based Technology (page 7) in that respect. All of us need to keep up to date to ensure that our businesses can capitalise on, and invent, new opportunities among this change. The IABM’s training program is a major part of the resource that you have for this. We also work with Universities internationally via our University Forum www.theiabm.org/training/iabm-university-forum to build capability and attract high quality graduates to our industry. If you are already in the industry, you’ll know how important it is to keep up to date. Attending courses is an excellent rout, but do look at our Events www.theiabm.org/events the work of our technology group www.theiabm.org/technology and those of our friends and partners at organisations like ABU, EBU, IEEE, IET and SMPTE.

In order for the sector to continue to grow it is essential to attract the highest calibre graduates. So we work with universities to ensure that, not only do they continue to offer courses which are relevantto our industry, but make sure that course attendees are aware of the opportunities that broadcast manufacturing offers them. By linking appropriate universities with organizations in the industry, the IABM Training Academy can achieve a flow of information that will be of benefit to all, see www.theiabm.org/training
