Video content training

Our video skills training gives you everything you need to plan, film, present and edit professional video content - whether you’re creating clips for social media, filming internal messages or producing pieces for your website. It’s a practical, hands-on day delivered by video and communications experts and it’s designed to make you confident both in front of the camera and behind it. We run this training across Essex, London and nationwide.

No, not at all. We work with complete beginners right through to teams who already make regular video content. We’ll start at the right level for you and build from there. By the end of the day you’ll know how to plan your shoot, script with confidence, present naturally and edit your footage into something you’re proud to share. But if you're only responsible for certain elements of that, no problem, we will focus on the skills you need.

Absolutely. If you’re the one appearing on screen, we’ll help you with body language, delivery, voice, tone, confidence and connecting with your audience. You’ll get practical exercises, expert feedback and plenty of time to practise so you feel relaxed and in control. Whether you’re filming in Essex, London or anywhere else in the UK, these skills will carry you through any type of on-camera appearance.

If you’re behind the camera, we’ll focus on planning your shots, using your camera or phone properly, choosing good lighting and sound, setting up framing, directing presenters and editing your content to look sharp and professional. We’ll walk you through editing tools and simple tricks that instantly lift the quality of your videos - no huge budget needed.

Yes - wherever your team is based, we’ll come to you. We run sessions at workplaces across Essex, London and nationwide or we can deliver the whole course online via Zoom or Teams. Both formats include practical exercises, demonstrations and real-time feedback, so you still get that hands-on, interactive experience.

Pretty much anything. Whether you want polished social media clips, interviews, campaign videos, explainer content, CEO messages or event highlights, we’ll tailor the training to fit the type of content your organisation actually needs. You’ll leave with skills you can use straight away and a much clearer idea of how to tell your story on screen.

Definitely - we do this a lot. If your team are the presenters, we’ll skip the filming and editing and focus fully on confidence, delivery, messaging and on-camera performance.
If you’re the production team, we’ll tailor it the other way — helping you plan shoots, direct presenters and bring out the best in whoever’s on camera, even if you’re not the one presenting yourself. If you'd like the training for both, then we quite often work with one team in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Just tell us your setup and we’ll shape the training around how your team actually works.

We don’t do open courses for individuals. Sorry about that.

We specialise in tailored training that’s created to exactly meet your needs, so our courses will be made uniquely for you and/or your organisation.

If you’re interested in a one to one tailored session or a group course for your organisation, do get in touch!

Our courses are all tailored specifically to you and your organisation’s needs. So usually our training is delivered at your place. We’ll be pleased to come to you, wherever you are.

If you prefer to book a hotel, meeting room or other accommodation that’s fine too.

If it’s hard for you to get everyone in one place we can also do your training online using either Zoom or Teams.

Our pricing depends entirely on your needs – we don’t do “one size fits all”!

Our course development includes working with you to understand your current levels of skills and experience, what you want to achieve from the training and how we can get you there.

We’ll also want to find out how many people you want trained and where you’d like the course delivered.

Once we know all that we can price your course which means you won’t pay for anything you don’t need.

As a guide, most of our full day courses start at £1995+VAT for up to four people, so that’s less than £500+VAT a head.

But speak to us and we’ll make sure we’re within your budget.

Absolutely! And we don’t just think so – our clients keep coming back, which tells us we’re giving them real value. We’re really proud that 40% of our work is with returning clients, so we must be getting it right.

Because we specialise in tailored training, everything we do for you is aligned to your outcomes. We know you don’t want to spend time or money on training that’s not directly going to help your business or organisation.

Apart from our one to one training, our fees are always for group sessions, so the most efficient cost per head is to fill all those places. It’s also really efficient to have two trainers attend if you have a large group size or have consecutive days of training. We’re always happy to explain our pricing – just let us know.

Everything you need!

• Planning meeting(s) with you to develop learning outcomes
• Course programme development
• Course content research and creation
• Scenario research to make your training relevant and “as real as it gets”
• Delivery by our former BBC journalist trainers and marketing experts
• Most courses have our Pre Course Questionnaire so we know what each delegate wants to achieve from their session with us
• Copies of our PDF guides as applicable
• Recordings of the full training session (online training)
• Recordings of radio and TV interviews carried out during the training (in person training)
• Course admin including scoping availability, confirming resources, booking confirmation and invoicing

No problem. The great thing about tailored training is that it’s exactly that. Tailored to you, including your availability. Speak to us and we’ll create a programme that fits your time.

Yes! We like to support charities with a discount, do ask us for more details.

We also offer discounts for multiple bookings. So for example if we create you a tailored course and you book multiple sessions, later ones will be discounted since the groundwork is already done. We’ll go through this once we know what you want.

Yes. We deliver training across the world and it’s nearly always much easier for one of two of us to come to you than all of you to come to us.

As a registered BCorp, we’re committed to using public transport wherever we can. Our travel cost covers our train fare, transfers and overnight accommodation where needed. We also charge a token amount for our travel time. This is because when they’re travelling to you our trainer isn’t available to train someone else.

We’ll cover all this in detail when we send you your proposal.

Lots of organisations come to us in exactly that situation.

By bringing in our expertise your team’s skills will be sharpened even further which helps your organisation and their professional development. For example, you might only deal with a media crisis every few years – we handle them every day for our wide selection of clients!

Our training is also an invaluable external assessment of your skills, capacity and resilience. Think you’ve got all skills covered? Let us confirm that for you by putting them into practice, or help you fill the gaps.

We can also help you address professional development. Our BBC expertise means we can give credible, valued feedback to all your delegates, including conversations you may not feel confident to have.
