The goal at LPI is to become the leading supplier of knowledgeable, certified professionals for the employers and equipment manufacturers of the live production industry.

In as little as one year, LPI prepares students to become a part of the Live Production Industry. The individual programs will act as a launching pad to a wide range of high-paying, cutting edge jobs in their respective fields. It is an intensive, hands-on educational opportunity that caters to any lifestyle, from the recent high school graduate to someone making a mid-life career change.
