About ITTA
International Tour and Tech Academy is the vision of a team of music veterans with individual and collective successes as international musicians and music managers. Recognizing that properly trained tour managers and crew are essential to the success of the band, in 2007 the Tour Management and Tech Program was designed. Their common goal was to design an educational facility that would provide quality training to the backbone of the music industry.
ITTA's co-founders, having developed strong working relationships with Canadian and International talent, incorporate their broad range of knowlege into a ten-week program which gives ITTA students an advantage that is non-comparable in the industry. The learning environment provides an industry feel and is equipped with state of the art technology.
The pilot sessions of the course were completed with an astounding success rate! Our students have had opportunities with various Canadian Music Festivals, Canadian and International bands.
In 2009, ITTA climbed to the next level by receiving accreditation from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
We've built a solid foundation for a great future and look forward to helping our students do the same.
Focus
We focus initially on providing two kinds of outcomes:
- Providing exceptional training inclusive of educational, workshop and 'real world' learning environments.
- Employment placing on completion; and creating an industry recognized certification.
Goal
To provide exceptional understanding using a combination of hands-on instruction and workshops in a non-conventional classroom setting. The preparatory course provides an opportunity for candidates to gain the fundamental knowledge and training needed for a successful career in music industry services.
Above and beyond our educational training, ITTA works with each candidate in assessing their individual strengths and finding suitable industry placements that will provide them with fulfilling challenges and rewards.
