AV Educate + Dante: Official Partnership announcement

AV Educate Expands Manufacturer-Approved Courses with Official Dante Training Led by Ed Willock

AV Educate continues its mission to Equip, Enable, and Empower the live events community with real-world, manufacturer-approved education.

We’re proud to announce that Ed Willock is now an Official Dante Certified Master Trainer, and AV Educate is a Dante Certfied Training Center, bringing Audinate’s industry-recognized Dante Certification Program directly to the AV Educate classroom.

This addition marks another major step in our goal to make manufacturer-approved training more accessible to freelancers and technicians across the country. Following the launch of our Pixelhue Certified Operator, Analog Way LivePremier, and Millumin Operator programs, Dante Training now joins the growing list of official certifications offered through AV Educate.

“Our goal has always been to give freelancers access to the same high-level manufacturer training that big companies invest in,” said AV Educate founder Omar Colom. “With Ed becoming an official Dante Certified Master Trainer, and AV Educate being recognized as a Dante Certified Training Center we’re bringing world-class audio-visual networking education straight to the people who make shows happen.”

Upcoming Dante Training Series — November 2025

Kicking off this November, AV Educate’s new Dante Training Series will guide students through Level 1 (3rd Edition) and Level 2 (3rd Edition) certifications, covering the core principles of Dante networking, routing, and troubleshooting through hands-on, real-world exercises.

Ed’s experience in corporate AV, live sound, and signal flow design ensures every student walks away with knowledge that translates directly to show site work.
