Each year, Roch TV organizes a boot camp to provide all Media Majors with the opportunity to re-certify on all cameras as well as learn about any new equipment that requires training and certification. Roch TV also helps to train students on core equipment and also how to create basic segments for a newscast. Senior students are trained each year on audio equipment and the studio control room technology.RochTv, 2013
