I offer a range of video editing and audio production software training courses designed for professionals and “newbies.” I have a decade of experience in video editing, TV broadcast, audio engineering and music production for local and international markets.

Introductory courses:

For beginners, the introductory courses cover all the necessary basics of video editing using the software of your choice.
How do you know which software to use? It usually depends on the type of videos you want to produce, or how ambitious you are about editing as a career. If unsure, please contact me for direction.

The introductory courses are one-on-one classes, 12 hours total, structured as six lessons of two hours each. They're very practical, and by the end of the course you will have edited your own video. It's fun and relaxed, and no previous video experience is required.
