Built around real broadcast decks
Real control room hours
Every course runs inside a working gallery, not a classroom simulation — you switch live feeds from your first week.
Taught by working crews
Instructors direct and switch live broadcasts across the UK between teaching blocks, so techniques stay current.
Small cohorts, close mentoring
Cohorts are capped so every trainee gets supervised desk time and direct feedback on every production run.
Find your next control room seat
We believe the best crews are built one seat at a time. Browse open cohorts across every discipline.
