GO PRO IN MOTION

Skilled professionals in stage automation are in high demand and can count on an AAA career with a lot of exciting challenges for shows in Belgium and all over the world. There are that many opportunities that you can easily pick a job that best matches your ambitions with your personal or family life. For international assignments you travel and see the world as touring crew for months sometimes. When Belgium is your setting, then we sure have shows enough to keep you busy over here.

WIACADEMY trainings help techies without motion experience to get an entrance ticket to this fascinating world. For those who already work in the sector, our courses are the very best way to upgrade existing skillsets to reach a next step.

WI trainings provide access to an array of relevant insights, principles, practices and techniques in stage motion control. Count on a hands-on approach, practical demonstrations and highly skilled coaches to support you with the ‘and now up to you’ assignments until you master the necessary skills.

Each training goes with a CERTIFICATION for a specific WIMOTION automation function or a level of responsibility within the broader scope of a function for candidates that have successfully finalized a practical assignment. Certifications are time bound and should be renewed to remain valid. Candidates can do so by attending 1 or more REFRESHMENT COURSES to actualize their existing motion control skillset.
