"The fact that Jeremy is an industry practitioner made this course extremely relevant, up to date and practical."
South West Screen - Induction workshop attendee

"Thank you so much for an extremely productive and informative day yesterday. The team most certainly went away feeling much more confident and enthused about the project ahead!"
Lion TV - Workshop attendee

"The flexibility to be able to leave and join the course according to what we felt was of most use was really beneficial particularly given that most people were juggling heavy workloads. The possibility to ‘dip in and out’ accordingly probably made the course accessible to more people than if we had had to commit to the entirety".
BBC Birmingham - Workshop attendee
