Testimonials

"I would recommend the script editing and development course to others, especially those with an acute interest in the script development process, be it writing, editing or both. I am eager to continue my learning in this field and pave my way to a career in the script department"
“One of the better short courses I’ve been on. John knows his stuff and presents it in a manner that is easy to understand and gives you so much in such a short time.”
“Pam has a solid background and real love of TV and she shared a number of experiences that added to her well-chosen material. However, it is her skill in listening and thinking with people that makes her such a focused and generous teacher. This is what the best online course I have done and it was down to her.”
“This was a really useful and interesting course. We covered a lot of information in a short time which was a fantastic introductory session. It made me feel more confident about protocols and language to use when working on an intimate scene. Overall I thought the course was very good and was a good amount of information and length to be relevant to all departments.”
“I learned so much doing this course. The tutor was amazing and very insightful. I now feel I have the tools I need. I would absolutely recommend this course to others in the industry.”
“I found the course brilliant. The information on the first aid was clearly explained and any questions we had were answered immediately. Doing this has updated the knowledge and skills I've had previously and I feel confident in being able to put what we learned into practice if an emergency ever arose.”
“This was such a well led course - Fiona was such a personable instructor and the use of real life stories made it very relatable and easier to understand. I feel so much more knowledgeable having left these three days training and even had to put it into practice just under 5 hours later”
“As well as learning proper manual handling techniques and legislation, I also got the chance to network with people who already work in my department - as a new entrant that is so valuable to me.”
“I enjoyed all aspects of the course a good mix of exercises, discussion and lecture, The topic is very relevant and my work was very impressed at the fact I was doing it, in the sense of showing career drive but equally an interest in the work”
“Great course. every Assistant Director should be taking this course”
