Common questions
Cannot find your answer? Get in touch and we will gladly help.
Do I need previous experience?
No. The Foundation course starts from the basics of a vision mixer. The Practitioner and Professional courses assume you are comfortable with the fundamentals.
Is the equipment provided?
Yes. All switching decks, audio desks, comms and cameras are provided in our control room suites. You only need to bring yourself and a notebook.
Will I receive a certificate?
Every student receives a certificate of attendance that lists the skills covered. It is not an accredited qualification.
Can my team or broadcaster book a private course?
Yes. We run tailored sessions for production teams, schools and broadcasters. Send us a message and we will outline what is possible.
