The SAE Institute

I was fortunate enough to be shown round the SAE Institute today.

It was fantastic.



Take, for example, the Diploma course....

The fees - for 12 months - are less than £9000. That may seem a lot but if you went to this tutorial college, for example, to do 3 A levels - that would be the price per term!!!! (And other colleges are more expensive)

So - what are the advantages of SAE?

• Individual practical time - Something no other course can offer! Only SAE Institute gives you the individual practical time you need to grasp the ever-increasing skill set required to work with and understand countless technologies and techniques used in modern film making.
• Balance of practical & theory - You'll benefit from a tried-and-tested combination of formal lectures, practical workshops, competency assignments, guest lectures and creative film projects.
• Cutting edge equipment and software - Because we are a global organization our students benefit from our vast equipment purchasing power, always providing our students with access to the latest digital film making equipment.
• Accelerated learning - You'll learn fast and graduate fast. You'll be diploma-qualified and career-ready in less than a year.
• Recognised qualification - We've been operating for more than 30 years; your diploma is government and industry recognised around the world.
• Schools around the world - With over 50 global locations (and still growing), you can tailor your studies to the country, industry and lifestyle of your choice.

Importantly, they have an Open Day soon - November 14th (Sunday). I hope everyone on the OFVM course can go on it....it's well worth a visit.

Even if you cannot, I just simply phoned them up and they gave me a two hour tour.....
