Mobile Content Creation

Become a content creator with your mobile device

Communication between a business or organisation and its clientele is increasingly taking place online and on social media. This course will get you on track to create content efficiently and with confidence.

For the online course, you will need access to a desktop or laptop computer with a camera, sound and good internet connection, as well as a quiet place to participate. Headphones are recommended.

The regular online chat sessions use Zoom. Please note that the first chat session is designed as an introductory session for the students and tutor to meet each other and iron out any possible connection issues.

This course is only open to students aged 18+.
