I think this course is actually really important because it's very unusual to have the holistic understanding of everything from start to finish.

Simon Pitts

This course is unprecedented in its scope and depth of detail.

Stephen Lambert

Television is both simple and complicated, if you want to understand how the business really works there’s a lot to learn. A course that can give you that information more quickly than just relying on you picking up as you go along is incredibly valuable.
