• Media Training & Development

    We’re just putting the final touches to our new Courses, so please bare with us!

    VFM offers two types of Training, and will offer a number of courses in each training type:

    Social Media Video For Small Businesses.
    Offering bespoke training aimed at small corporate clients who want to be seen and heard but don’t have the budget to outsource their video requirements all the time. In a practically focused course, we will take you through the entire process of storytelling, video production, post production, graphics and delivering to social media platforms. All delivered at your place of work. Courses can be 1-3 days in duration (online info coming soon!) and will leave you with all the knowledge you will need to produce dynamic and effective videos for your business.

    Training for Media Professionals
    Working with NGOs, online platforms, broadcast news professionals and TV stations, we will develop a bespoke training package focusing on key journalistic, ethical and visual storytelling standards aimed at raising the abilities of all participants.

    Our new courses will be posted soon. If you would like to know more now, please contact us for more information.
