Leading experts from hand-picked companies in each discipline of production work with former dedicated Boards production consultant Paul Mavis to develop independent, comprehensive presentations and support material outlining the key components of their particular field.

Presentations will be developed to give students an impartial appreciation for each particular field, leaving each student with a firm understanding of the actual work that goes in to commercial production.

Boards U students will be given a student ID, which will allow them to log in to www.BoardsU.com and register for classes. On the day of the event, students receive Student ID cards and a Boards U Binder with dividers that correspond to each of the classes available at Boards U. At each class, students are given a presentation package that includes the agenda, key concepts, a glossary of terms and other support materials from the presentation that is placed in the designated space in the Boards U Binder.

In addition to the seven scheduled classes, there are three hours in which students are invited to meet the other 'professors' and find out about other areas of commercial production. In order to 'graduate', students must visit each of the classes and obtain hand out packages to complete the Boards U Binder.
