How you’ll learn
Live | Remote | Expert | Active learning | Community
From an industry expert. In real time. Using gold standard learning methods.
The verdict is in. Learning is not passive. It doesn’t happen from an information dump. It happens when we engage our minds and grow from feedback. That’s why active learning is the gold standard for learning and development, and that’s why we use active learning techniques in every class. We’ve distilled best practices for producing from the masters within the industry, we’ve fine-tuned them for easy up-take and strong retention, and we give you opportunities inside and outside of class to engage with the material to hone the essential skills we teach.
Each of our 120-180 minute lessons is delivered in a live, virtual setting so that you are guaranteed interaction and real-time feedback from an industry expert and build community with other producers in the industry. Our extra-curricular assignments are assessed by our expert instructors and each class has a minimum of 30 minutes embedded in the lesson structure for Q&A.
