Eden Leisure Group staff training overseas

Steve Cronin is the Technical Manager for Eden Century Cinemas and IMAX.  Meeting him in his kingdom, the projection room, is like being in a cockpit, all seems very complicated...`That is exactly why I have been sent for 6 weeks` training in Toronto, Canada.  Until I was trained there, an expert technician had to be brought to Malta 8 times yearly to service the machines.`

Steve, who hails from England, is just back from a highly intensive course that covered a variety of subjects from Maths to Electrical Mechanical Theory to specialized computer skills for Digital Sound.  He attained his certificate in DTAC, Digital Theatre Audio Control, and now heads a team of Maltese technicians who provide a 24 hour service, seven days a week.  This enables the Eden Leisure Group to be self sufficient in all that relates to the maintenance and repairs of all its cinema equipment.

He stated `Spending 6 weeks in Canada was an experience from which I gained much for my profession.  Besides, I was taken to see the spectacular Niagara Falls where, incidentally, I was shown an IMAX cinema which exclusively features a film on the falls, their geological history and the incredible shots of different stunts created by reckless people throughout the years.`
