The Digital Film Part-time Production Certificate Program is an evening and weekend training program where students can either take the complete certificate or just individual courses.

The Documentary Production Certificate Program is a 16-week intensive full-time professional training program specializing in non-fiction filmmaking. Students on the Documentary Program pitch to Industry experts to gain professional experience and constructive advice on their projects and develop personal projects.

These are two-term programs rolled into one, using a mentorship approach and taught by experienced award-winning professionals in small class sizes. This allows us to work closely with students and help them develop their personal, artistic, technical and commercial goals.

Students receive complete equipment packages for their final films and a small budget for the rental of additional equipment for individual needs. All students make a graduation project and put together festival packages for them where appropriate. Students own their own films and enter them into festivals and can sell them to broadcasters.
