School Workshops
We introduced our workshop programmes in 2022 and these run for a fixed duration from anything between a half term to the full academic year. The 2 hour weekly workshop sessions caters for up to 10 learners and our fixed fee is cost effective for referral partners engaging large cohorts of learners.
Sessions are delivered as either enrichment or accredited programmes and students get the opportunity to develop skills in digital media as they progress through the chosen pathway.
