Technical & Engineering

Learn the technical side that keeps every production and broadcast running: camera systems, lighting rigs, sound engineering, live-stream setup, and how to maintain and troubleshoot the equipment behind it all.

Beginner → Intermediate
On-campus, hands-on (Kigali)
Certificate on completion
Real equipment, real gear rooms

About the Program

Behind every film, event or broadcast is a technical crew keeping the equipment running — cameras that stay powered and calibrated, lighting rigs wired safely, audio that stays clean, and streams that don't drop. This program trains you for that role.

You'll get hands-on with the same gear used on real IBTC productions: cameras, lighting and grip equipment, audio systems, and live-streaming setups — learning to set them up, operate them, and fix them when something goes wrong.

  • Work directly with professional production equipment
  • Learn safe rigging, wiring and equipment handling
  • Set up and run live-stream and broadcast systems
  • Practice real equipment troubleshooting, not just theory
  • Hands-on, on-campus training in Kigali
