Practical all the way. Your first video creation happens shortly after commencing the course. Filmmaking, photography, music and podcasting workshops are peppered throughout the programme. Learners can also expect a number of road trips to exhibitions, film festivals and college open days. Our learner centered team at YIFM work with each learner individually to define personal projects including video, audio, photography and design. Learner collaboration is an integral part of the course. It’s like a creative family scenario, “we even have a wellbeing officer on the team” to ensure learners have their best experience.

Every September, 20 creative people aged 16+ join the Kilkenny City based course for 44 weeks of learning through practical creative projects involving community groups, local festivals and even working with local businesses to create social media content as part of their work experience module.

“Learners commit to build a significant portfolio, and a solid foundation in the Adobe Creative Suite”, explains Gareth. Feedback from former students is excellent, for example, this message was sent to the staff upon completion of the course “Thank you all so much guys the best year I’ve ever had”.
