In today’s rapidly advancing tech world, many people, especially older generations, may find it challenging to keep pace with new technologies. However, adapting to technology is a gradual process, and it’s important to approach it step by step. Each day offers a chance to learn and grow.

Here are five effective ways to begin your AV tech learning journey:

1. Online Courses and Tutorials – Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning offer courses on topics such as sound engineering, video production, and lighting techniques. These can be taken at your own pace and provide a solid foundation in AV technology.
2. Hands-On Experience – One of the best ways to learn is by directly engaging with AV equipment. Volunteering for events or at local community centers, theaters, or houses of worship can give you practical, real-world exposure. Websites like VolunteerMatch can help you find local opportunities to gain experience.
3. Join AV Communities and Forums – Joining online forums and communities is an excellent way to learn from others, ask questions, and stay updated on the latest trends. Websites like Reddit (e.g., r/audioengineering or r/videography) or Facebook groups offer great platforms for networking and troubleshooting with peers.
4. Read Industry Publications and Blogs – Staying informed by reading AV-related publications and blogs is crucial for understanding industry trends and technological advancements. Websites like Sound & Video Contractor and blogs like No Film School offer insights that can deepen your AV knowledge.
