Camera and Audio Training
If you've just bought a new camera and are struggling with the manual, then PROKIT suggests you get in touch with Urbanfox.com.
Based in Ealing, West London, the company is run by Christina Fox. Telephone 020 8621 3649.
One to One Training
One-to-one camera training is all about getting exactly the training you need. No sitting in a crowded classroom wishing the instructor would speed up or slow down. You don't pay to learn stuff you already know. You won't feel embarrassed about asking questions in front of others.
All one-to-one training is tailored to suit your needs. You get exactly what you want. Maybe you have very specific questions, a project you need help with, advice on how best to use your kit. Let Christina Fox know what you want, and she'll design a course just for you. Every one-to-one course is different, because every one needs something different.
One Day or Two
If you already have some experience, then one day will probably be enough. One-to-one training can cover a lot in a day, compared to learning in a big group, because they can skip through what you already know and just concentrate on the areas where you need help.
If you are a complete beginner, you may not know what you need exactly. Let Christina know what kit you have just bought, and what kind of projects you intend to shoot, and then she can design training for you. Beginners usually find two days more useful. Learning about cameras and audio in just one day can be a lot to absorb. With two days you can go at a slower pace, do more practical stuff and keep going over things until you're happy.
Training for Groups
Whether a small or large group, besboke courses ensure that staff / crew get exactly the training they need, in a cost effective package.
