Participants will be able to practice the taping of a real event as part of the course. Places are limited to a maximum of 12 participants.

Dates: 11^th and 12^th October 2008.

Times: 10-4pm.

We are committed to opening up access to media tools and platforms and developing a participatory, democratised and integrated model of good practice. We are always happy to hear from the motivated and passionate.

What Can We Offer?

Our training involves a wide range of people and organisations, helping them to gain hands-on production skills and experience.

The courses we offer cover all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production and are for groups and individuals who wish to develop skills with the latest generation of low, low-medium budget and most commonly used cameras.
