What is ETCP?

The Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP) is an industry-wide program that has brought together an unprecedented group of industry organizations, businesses and individuals to create a program of rigorous assessments for professional technicians. ETCP focuses on disciplines that directly affect the health and safety of crews, performers, and audiences.
You may become certified through ETCP in the following areas:
Rigger – Arena, Rigger – Theatre, Entertainment Electrician and Portable Power Distribution Technician.

Proud supporter-

Since ETCP's inception in 2005, EGI has continued to be a proud supporter of the ETCP and its practices. We have both a certified Rigger and Electrician in house, and hire ETCP certified technicians to make sure every production is held to the highest standards for safety.
Entertainment Safety, and in particular, Entertainment RIGGING safety is of extreme importance to EGI.
