Our mission

Live production is learned by doing. Our mission is to give every learner safe, supported time in a real control room so that the first live cue is never a leap into the unknown.

We cover multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and the professional management of television and streaming productions, from the first rehearsal to the final fade.

How we teach

Hands-on first

Most of every course is spent at the desk, cutting, calling and fixing real problems.

Real broadcast kit

You learn on the same classes of equipment you will meet in a professional gallery.

Small groups

Limited places mean every learner gets time on each seat in the control room.

Industry practice

Rundowns, call sheets and talkback etiquette follow the way live crews actually work.

Meet your instructors

Working professionals who bring current practice from the gallery into the classroom.
