Episode 108
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
🎙️ You Guys! We Talked ETCP Certifications!If you’ve ever wondered how to determine who in this business really knows their discipline, especially in an industry without formal training requirements, this is the episode for you.We had Christina Smith from ESTA and Bill Sapsis of Sapsis Rigging and the ETCP Council join the Event Safety Podcast to break down the Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP). This program is designed to certify the skills of the top third of our industry professionals in 4 different areas of expertise.  It’s not just a test. The certification is based heavily on vetting hands-on work history, not just technical knowledge.  We cover the four certifications: Arena Rigger, Theatre Rigger, Entertainment Electrician, and Portable Power Distribution Technician.  Happy holidays and remember, don't hold the fireworks!https://etcp.esta.org/
