Videographer Training Course

Netcom Training is running a Videographer Training Course in Birmingham, England, giving you a structured route into professional video and content production. The course covers the full production workflow from camera operation and lighting to post-production editing, with hands-on training in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects across 16 weeks of practical workshops. It suits people looking to build credits and enter the industry as a videographer, video editor, or content creator without prior formal training.

About the Role

This Videographer Training Course sits across both production and post-production disciplines, preparing you to work on social media video, branded content, and client-facing projects. A typical session moves between camera handling, lighting setups, and editing timelines, so you graduate with a working knowledge of the full production pipeline rather than one isolated skill. Netcom Training delivers the course face-to-face on Mondays from 5.30pm to 9.30pm and Sundays from 9.00am to 3.30pm, with the cohort starting 21st September 2026.

Key Responsibilities

• Operating cameras with gimbals and tripods to capture stable, broadcast-quality footage across a range of shooting conditions.
• Setting up and adjusting lighting rigs to achieve consistent, professional results for video production.
• Editing footage in Adobe Premiere Pro, managing timelines, colour, and export settings to meet delivery specifications.
• Applying motion graphics and visual effects work in After Effects as part of a post-production workflow.
• Recording and mixing audio to picture, including syncing and sweetening dialogue and ambient sound for video content.
• Researching and developing a client base, learning how to position yourself as a working videographer in a commercial market.

What You Bring

• No prior professional credits required, though any personal or hobbyist video production experience is useful.
• Willingness to work across both production and post-production disciplines within a single course structure.
• Residency in the West Midlands and age 19 or over, with gross annual earnings below 36,126.
• No current enrolment in other government-funded training programmes.
