Cambridge TV Training provides a radically different approach to learning the TV, video, and broadcast industries.  We use recognised industry practices and experts to deliver training.  Contact us at info@CTVS.co.uk

Cambridge TV Training

Commencing Monday 24 September 2018 and running for 11 weeks with a one week break at Half Term, we are offering a programme makers’ course aimed at those who have aspirations in the Industry. The purpose is to up-skill participants in all aspects of factual (non-fiction) TV production and create several ‘packages’ that can be broadcast on Cambridge TV as part of our regular output, working alongside multiple industry professionals, creating your own shows with dedicated training sessions multiple times a week.
Since many of our students work or study at the same time, the course has been designed to be flexible around people's working hours during the week. Every Monday and Tuesday consist of full day training sessions focusing on different areas of production each day, practicising hands on experience in creating programmes for TV. The hours for rest of the week are flexible around your work/study schedule as during this time we create, plan and organise other shows for broadcast with all of our resources available to use alongside working with other industry professionals.
Each topic will be practical &amp; project-based, working on specific items either sourced by the participants or derived from the mass of potential stories available to our research team and magazine producers. Content may include:
