Our main branch is located in Sydney, next to the prestigious production company Film & Television Agency; but where any of our franchises are located (nationwide) you will be able to purchase a course, choose your location and begin your education.

We are currently offering 1 online course as a sampling platter (so people can see if they want to further their education in video production).

Our courses, however, are held in our physical locations where you will receive your education from real production staff.

Learn To Film do not offer scholarships.

What we do offer are beginners short courses which can (by other university standards) advance your knowledge by an entire year. LTF is the bridge to becoming a pro.

While premium career and business advice can be purchased at Learn To Film through our ‘One on One Mentor-ship’ program (by Film & Television Agency’s CEO), business advice specifically is not provided for every course.

What is provided through our educators is 1 complete year of online production support for the skills you have studied. This is accessible to all graduates of Learn To Film.

Yes. Most of our course content revolves around the Adobe Creative Cloud platform. However, you can use other software as the course content uses universal terminologies which standardises our whole course in its entirety.

Adobe Creative Cloud is available as a trial, so you can download it when you are ready to come in and study without paying a cent for it.

While we don’t carry credits over from one course to the other, you will be eligible for discounts on certain course after graduation. In fact, some courses require you to have already completed a course at Learn To Film in order for you to apply.

You will need to notify us 14 day before commencement to be eligible to move your course booking to any other available course. You must advise us no later than 14 days prior to the course commencement date.

If you inform us of your emergency at least 48 hours prior to commencement, you will be able to book a later date.

If the emergency happens during study, our support staff will work something out with you on a case by case basis. Our goal is to provide you the education you require and we will do our best to ensure that you can receive it.

Cancellations should occur at least 14 days prior to the commencement date.

If you miss a booked class you can talk to our support staff and explain your circumstances. Should it be appropriate to your situation, we will do our best to place you in a later class where you can complete your course.

If you need to cancel a course, you should endeavour to do so at least 14 days before the commencement date of the course.

We do not make exemptions based on study at other institutions.

Because we are staffed by real working video production professionals, the education and advice we offer differs from other institutions. We encourage our students to absorb all that we offer.

We are also a beginners short course school, so if you have already completed studies elsewhere and are looking to advance further beyond beginners skills, Learn To Film might not be for you.

You can, however, purchase our premium ‘One on One Mentor’ program should you need business advice and support from the CEO of Film & Television Agency.

If you wish to cancel your study after you have already started it, you will forfeit your payment. However!!! If an emergency happens during study, our support staff will work something out with you on a case by case basis. Our goal is to provide you the education you require and we will ensure that you can receive it if possible.

As we are running each course at least twice per month, there is barely a time of year that you won’t find the course you are after, either at our flagship Sydney location or any other location across the country (which will also be hosting classes of their own).

It is highly recommended that you bring a laptop or pad that will allow you to log in to our website (LMS) learning management system and use it to make notes on our learning platform.

In short. No, it is not a absolute requirement.

Although you could bring a laptop to your lessons that provide the capability to run Adobe Premiere Pro if you’re taking up a VFX, Graphics or Video Editing Course.

All other courses are team activities with gear provided by Learn to Film.

Generally, 16gb of ram is required for editing in HD. Provided that the video card and CPU aren’t too aged or underpowered, you should be able to follow along with the classes that require a computer.

It is also recommended that you have the Adobe Creative Cloud software. It is a subscription based software package and includes all the software necessary to produce all media related to video production.

Should you not want to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud, you can use their trial period during your study, by simply downloading the software the day before your course commences.

Here is a good guideline for computer specifications to run Adobe Premiere Pro (editing software)
CPU: Intel 7th Gen, AMD Ryzen 7
OS: Windows 10 x64-bit Version 1809 / MacOS Version 10.13+
RAM: (1080p editing) 16GB, (4K editing) 32GB
GPU: 4GB GPU VRAM
HDD: Internal SSD, additional internal or external high speed drive(s) for media
Monitor Resolution: 1920×1080 or greater

Note: for updated minimum hardware requirements, visit the Adobe website.

Each course will be scheduled at least twice a month or as the demand is present. We will also have multiple locations across the country also running classes.

Camera gear is not needed as we will provide equipment for you to handle and learn with.

If you already have a professional (or entry-professional) camera, we do encourage that you bring it along if the particular course involves camera handling.
