All About MAC3TV Classes
MAC3TV classes are for the most part introductory in nature. There are certain mandatory classes that must be taken in order to become certified to use the equipment and facilities. These classes are designed to give volunteers the basic skills necessary to operate production equipment.
MAC3TV has a mission to teach media literacy; this is incorporated into all our classes. Through this teaching and training we get to know you, the volunteers. This is a critical component of the equipment lending part of the Public Access mission.
It must be understood that Volunteers may use the MAC3TV equipment and facilities for the sole purpose of making non-commercial programs intended to be cablecast on MAC3TV.
