During Mediatech Africa 2017, SACIA launched its new TLE professional designations
for theatre and live event professionals. To apply for the designation, individuals are
required to write a 100-question multiple-choice exam that tests their knowledge
across 15 competencies including:

• Audio

• Av operations

• Cabling and signal management


• Display

• Event power

• Health and Safety

• Laser

• Lighting

• Management

• Pyro

• RF

• Rigging

• Stage craft

• Temporary structures

• Video

The questions used in the SACIA TLE designation tests have been compiled by a
community of expert practitioners active in the market. Questions are randomly
selected from a question bank and are assessed on an ongoing basis to ensure they
remain valid. Additional questions are also added as technology evolves.

The exam fee is R500 (US$40 paid via PayPal). During the introductory month, 100%
of this fee will be donated to the SOS Fund to assist technicians who are in need of
special assistance.
