Got some more questions?
Question #1Do I need broadcast experience to join a course?
No. Studio Foundations is designed for newcomers, while the Live Production Intensive suits people who already work around cameras, sound or lighting and want to build confidence.
Question #2Where do the courses take place?
Sessions run in working studio spaces across the UK. Newsroom Team Programmes can also be delivered at your own studio so the training fits your real equipment.
Question #3How many people are in each cohort?
We cap hands-on cohorts at eight learners so everyone gets time on the cameras, the lighting desk and the audio console.
Question #4Can you train a whole newsroom team together?
Yes. Team programmes are built around your bulletins and your running orders, and cover camera, lighting, sound and gallery communication.
Question #5How do I reserve a place?
