At RCP London Events, a structured apprenticeship framework has been introduced to nurture emerging talent and equip the next generation of AV professionals. Spearheaded by Ben Pain, Head of Audio Visual Resources, this initiative combines hands-on experience with academic study to build a comprehensive foundation in AV technology.

New AV Apprenticeship Addresses Industry Skills Gap

The innovative two-year programme, which began in January 2025, is a collaborative effort between RCP London Events, Middlesbrough College, and top industry employers including Google, the British Museum, Bloomberg, and the National Gallery. With a focus on practical training and advanced technology, the framework provides aspiring AV technicians with the technical knowledge and real-world experience needed to excel in the events industry.
