Case Study: Ampco Flashlight achieves scalable, mobile compliance and cost-saving technical training for broadcast and live‑events technicians with Totara

Ampco Flashlight Train Technical Engineers in Broadcast and Live Events Sector

Ampco Flashlight is an international rental company with 35+ years in lighting, sound, video, motion and rigging for broadcast, theatre, live and corporate events. With over 140 technicians plus a similar number of contractors and 30% annual new hires, the business needed a scalable, flexible and cost‑effective way to train staff to work safely with ever-changing and often brand‑new equipment.

They launched the Flashlight Academy using Totara Learn and Articulate Studio to centralize e‑learning, manuals, exams and practical instruction, optimized for mobile (iPad) access. Structured courses combine multimedia lessons, practice and final exams, and reference materials; implementation delivered measurable results: lower training costs, better use of face‑to‑face time, improved scalability for high turnover, consistent regulatory compliance and higher service quality, with local partner support smoothing deployment and ongoing use.
