Courses & Training

Practical, engaging courses designed to build creative skills, confidence and a deeper understanding of film and media. Tailored for schools and students.

For Schools

I work with schools to bring practical filmmaking, cinematography and creative storytelling into the classroom. Sessions are designed to give students the opportunity to learn through doing: developing ideas, working with cameras and sound, exploring visual storytelling and creating their own work.

The training supports Leaving Certificate Drama, Film and Theatre Studies, and works as standalone workshops for students developing an interest in film and media, Transition Year included. Delivered in your school, during school hours, using the school’s own equipment.

How it works for your school

How the training works

Practical. Creative. Hands-on. Students learn through a combination of discussion, demonstration, experimentation, collaboration and practical production.

A single practical day, built around one course or one part of the subject.

Short programme

A series of sessions over a few weeks, shaped around a project or a section of the subject.

Longer-term training

Ongoing practical training across a term or a year.
