The Duclos Lens Technician Training is a two-week training event, part of PERG’s effort to address the shortage of qualified lens service technicians throughout the industry. The training will be attended by 39 lens technicians from 31 different companies from all over the U.S., with some trainees coming from as far as Europe and South America. The Wednesday events are an extraordinary opportunity to network with other lens professionals, manufacturers, experts, and lens technicians from local camera-rental companies in Los Angeles. PERG has also launched new dedicated channels on Slack for lens technicians to share technical information, stay in touch, and get guidance when needed (see PERG Slack Channels).
PERG partnered with Duclos Lenses, the premier motion picture lens service facility, to provide a unique training opportunity for the rental community and aspiring lens technicians. Trainees will receive hands-on instruction from Matthew Duclos, Senior Lens Technician, Engineer, and Chief Operating Officer at Duclos Lenses. Afternoons will include technical presentations by manufacturers and special lectures with a variety of exciting guest speakers.
The Duclos Lens Technician Training sold out very quickly—a sign of the industry demand for professional training! PERG is already discussing possible future training events. To stay up to date, please sign up HERE.
