Learn it from the people who built it.
Three ways in. Pick by how much structure you want, not by how much you already know.
Pass the course. Get the star.
Every other manufacturer teaches you their menus. These four walk the whole app end to end, far past anything on the channel, taught by a programmer who runs shows for a living, built from real cues on real rigs including the ones that went wrong. Each course is a run of video lessons plus a graded assessment. Each one you pass adds a star to your listing in the Lighting Pro Directory™, the public map people search when they need someone who can actually run this desk.
What the star actually does
Any Blackout account can opt into the directory. What you’ve passed is what makes your dot stand out on it: one star per course, and the dot itself changes colour once you finish the set.
The directory is opt-in, and you can switch your listing off any time. See the directory arrow_forward
