TRAINING FOR 18 +

"I started out on the basics and I've just gone on and on learning more"

We offer industry-standard training in video production. We run a range of courses, with a ratio of six students to one tutor, better than most colleges.

All our courses are free. If you have children, we can help with childcare costs, our introductory studio and offices are wheelchair accessible and we’ll do all we can to help with any particular needs. If you have any questions, just ask.

Our current focus is on residents of West London, particularly of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Over the next 18 months, we are also running specific courses that are open to unemployed Londoners.
