What trainees say:

Valerie Koga

“This Mobile Journalism Certificate Course was exciting, challenging and fulfilling, and the trainer was great. I’m grateful Robb was always ready to give feedback. I liked that the lessons were simplified and divided into small sections that made them easy to access, follow and reflect on. The assignments were quite challenging, but very interesting. Coming from a print background, filming and editing opened up my eyes to the work that goes into production and telling a good visual story; and I had quite a lot of fun while at it. I carry with me many lessons from the virtual class and the field. To the school, trainer and my sponsors, thank you for the great experience and new skills.”

“All is covered for minimalist filmmaking, and not only i-phone. Android is pretty well covered here. The course is very detailed, with examples, names of brand, prices. All kind of situations are covered: outdoor, studio, interview… name it. Also all about sound and light is detailed, with hardware options. I feel really it’s worth the price, bravo!”
