AB  - L-Acoustics has introduced several disruptive technologies in the live sound industry, like in 1992 with full-range line sources, or more recently with large-scale immersive audio. To accompany the end-users in mastering these new tools, training and education have always been a core foundation of the company. This paper explains the educational challenges associated with the sector of live sound and how L-Acoustics has decided to overcome them. The development of a program targeted at end-users, with structured content and elaborated methodologies has allowed the evolution from traditional product training to vocational education. The different job profiles, the associated learning objectives and courses fulfil the development of live sound professionals. In addition, the program reveals itself as a good complement to initial education curriculums that will prepare their students for the multiple job opportunities in the live sound industry.
