Courses & Training

What is Toxteth TV?
We provide a Media production resource where young people aged 14- 18 years can train alongside Professional Production Companies in a fully accessible facility in Windsor Street. The building houses a managed workspace in one half and the other is dedicated space for the provision of video production training and includes a full size and professionally equipped studio space.

Who is it for?
The training is aimed at young people who are at risk of disengagement from education and caters for school children aged 14-16 years and young people aged 16- 18. The learning is delivered through exciting hands on video projects which aim to reengage young people into learning as well as providing an introduction to the skills needed to create short video programmes.

What will they be doing?
The project offers 14 -16 year olds one day a week short courses where they will be making either a pop promo, a soap type drama or a documentary video. They will work as a team to design, plan, shoot and edit short videos using the extensive resources at Toxteth TV. The courses will last approximately 11 weeks each and any learner that completes will have a level 1 qualification validated by Liverpool Community College.

For 16-18 year olds there is a full time course that offers the same project based experience along with the opportunity to achieve a level 2 NCFE Video Production qualification. We also offer daylong tasters for both age groups.

The emphasis is on becoming involved in an enjoyable and stimulating production experience which will open up pathways and possibilities for further learning either within video production or any other area of learning offered within the city.
