Flying Start Digital Media

Digital media is an exciting and rewarding industry with so many different career paths on offer from TV and radio presenters to directors and editors and social media content managers. Jobs within media are challenging and different every day giving you so many exciting experiences.

Here at Highbury, we have Level 2 and 3 courses that give you an opportunity to explore these different career paths. You will learn about TV and film, radio, photography, filming and editing and presentation alongside key skills, such as research and communication. You will have access to our TV studio and radio studios, as well as editing suites, photoshop and our range of different filming and photography equipment.

They are hands-on courses giving you the chance to work on some really exciting projects, many with outside clients as well as working on our online radio station JAMM radio.

Our students have gone on to gain jobs with Warner Brothers Film studio, BBC, ITV, Sky and other media organisations.
