Education

by Francesco AndreolaJuly 12^th, 2021

As part of their ARRI Academy Program, the German company introduced two new Advanced Service Training Online courses that will teach you how to repair and service an Alexa Mini, Amira, and MVF-1 viewfinder. You can enroll in the course today for €650.

ARRI has been leading the cinema camera manufacturing market for a very long time. However, their popular cameras are complex systems that need proper care and attention. As deterioration or damage of some parts can occur, you might be the person in charge of fixing the problem.

Therefore, ARRI is now introducing two new courses focusing on the service procedures for the Alexa Mini, Amira, and MVF-1. An Advanced Service Training for the Alexa Mini LF is already available.

ARRI Advanced Service Training for Alexa Mini, Amira, and MVF-1

Specifically designed for rental house technicians as well as Alexa Mini and Amira owners, these courses walk you through the essential steps for properly maintaining and repairing these beauties.

Lessons are pre-recorded, which means that you will be able to access this educational content from anywhere in the world for a lifetime.

Once you complete the training, you are able to disassemble and (hopefully) reassemble these cameras. Furthermore, the completion of these courses will also allow you to order special tools and spare parts that would be inaccessible otherwise.

ARRI Advanced Service Training: modules and topics

These Advanced Service Training courses are divided into modules, each of which extensively covers a specific topic. As a result, you will get as far as even exchanging used parts or electronics boards.

Here is a breakdown of all the modules included in the Advanced Service Training for the Alexa Mini:

• Sensor cover glass
• Fans
• Front housing
• Rear housing
• Assembly cage
• Left side
• Back side
• Rear side
• ND-filter blocking
• Programming the hardware information

Trainer and language

ARRI Camera Service Trainer, Christoph Gschlößl will be your guide throughout these lessons. These online classes are only available in English. If you’re not a native speaker, don’t worry: subtitles will help you follow.
