In-Person Classes

We are happy to announce that Rational Acoustics is once again offering in-person Smaart training classes.

In-person classes in the United States are hosted by Rational Acoustics and currently consists of two course offerings: Smaart Operator: Fundamentals and Smaart Operator: Advanced.

Because we have transitioned our introductory fundamentals training materials to an online format, and will continue to offer online trainings on an ongoing basis throughout the year, the in-person Smaart Operator: Fundamentals class will be offered on a limited basis.

  • INTERESTED IN HOSTING A PRIVATE CLASS?

    Rational Acoustics can provide an instructor to conduct a private class at your venue for up to 20 attendees. The fee is $2000/day plus instructor travel expenses (flight, hotel, rental car, meals, etc.) and private trainings are typically two days.


    Rational Acoustics can work with private class clients to tailor the class curriculum based on attendee interests and level of expertise.

    The instructor fee for a private class is a flat day rate, regardless of number of attendees in the class. Private classes are not open to the public, so the private class host is responsible for filling the seats with their employees, freelancers or clients. The private class host is responsible for providing the venue and all required audio/visual equipment for the class.

  • INTERESTED IN HOSTING A PUBLIC CLASS?

    We are always on the lookout for venues to host public Smaart training classes. If you have the venue and the gear, have we got a deal for you!

    In exchange for providing a suitable class venue including tables/chairs and all required audio/visual equipment, public class hosts receive (2) free seats in the class plus (1) free Smaart license (the edition of your choice).

    Public class venues must provide a comfortable learning environment and be free from excessive noise/interference (i.e. we can't hold a class in your warehouse). They must also be available for the exclusive use of the class for the duration of the class (i.e. we can't hold a class in your nightclub if we have to break down the gear every day because it's open to the public at night).
