-The aims of the Institute include setting technical standards for the industry, the distribution of information and know-how (lately through a data-base accessable via Internet), further training for employed theatre technicians, and the training programmes for theatre technical students at Universities and Technikons. The original idea was to train people itself, utilizing in-service training at theatres such as the [[Nico Malan Theatre]]  in Cape Town, but this did not get of the ground.  At the annual conference a motion was passed to appeal to the [[Department of National Education]] to start a course in theatre technology at the [[Witwatersrand Technical College]]. This was followed by a similar course at the [[Cape Town Technical College]] and also at the [[Pretoria Technical College]]. Later some University Departments also offered diploma and degree courses in aspects of stage management, design and technology (e.g. [[Rhodes University]], [[Stellenbosch University]], the [[University of the Witwatersrand]], [[University of Natal]], [[Potchefstroom University]] and [[University of the Orange Free State]]).
