What we teach

Four crafts behind every smooth live show

Our programme follows the way a real production comes together, from an empty floor to a confident transmission.

  • Studio set-up

    Floor plans, gallery layout, cabling, comms and signal flow, planned so that nothing is improvised on the day.

  • Camera operation

    Pedestal, jib and handheld technique, clean framing, smooth moves and reliable cueing under live pressure.

  • Lighting

    Three-point and news-set lighting, colour balance and exposure that stay consistent from rehearsal to transmission.

  • Sound

    Microphone choice and placement, mixing, IFB and talkback so presenters and guests are always clear.

Our approach

Prepared.

Precise.

On air.

What you get

Training built around the working studio

  • Hands-on studio time

    Most of every course is spent on the floor and in the gallery, working with real equipment.

  • Small cohorts

    Limited places per course so each learner gets time on every camera, desk and light.

  • Broadcast-standard kit

    Train on the same type of cameras, mixers and comms systems used in news and live studios.

  • Workflow templates

    Take away rundown, shot-list and checklist templates you can use in your own productions.

  • Certificate of completion

    Receive a certificate for every course you finish to include in your professional portfolio.

  • Follow-up support

    Ask our tutors questions after the course while you apply what you learned on the job.

How it works

From an empty studio to a confident live show

Our courses follow one repeatable workflow, so the habits you learn here carry straight into your own newsroom or production.

Learn more
  1. Plan

    Read the running order, build the shot list and map every camera, light and microphone before anyone touches kit.

  2. Rig

    Set up, label and test the studio. Check comms, signal flow and fallback routes so problems are found early.

  3. Broadcast

    Run the show with calm, clear communication, then review what went well and what to tighten for next time.
