Do I need broadcast experience before I start?
No. Our foundation courses assume only a basic interest in production. Each track moves from signal flow and terminology to hands-on studio drills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the practical sessions take place?
Practical days run in partner studios and control rooms around the UK, so you work on the same kit used by television networks and event crews.
Can my whole production team enrol together?
Yes. Team packs include shared scheduling, a common workflow brief and a discounted rate for four or more crew members.
How are camera control and shading taught?
You learn exposure, colour matching and remote head control on live camera chains, then practise matching a multi-camera setup under time pressure.
Do you cover lighting for both studios and live events?
Both. Studio lighting covers key, fill and balance for broadcast cameras, while event modules cover rigging plans, power and fast changeovers.
How do I get a quote for a custom programme?
Send us a short brief through the contacts page. We reply within two working days with a suggested syllabus, dates and pricing.
