QPIX Training courses are designed to cover all aspects of film production from concept development through to producing a finished product, but with an emphasis on the industry and running a business in that industry.

Participants in the Diploma of Screen course are encouraged to think in terms of teaming up with others to start their own business, where they can respond creatively and commercially to their clients’ brief and needs.  Along with the practical aspects of filmmaking, students will also cover the legal, administrative and industrial standards for production and post-production.

QPIX Training is proud to announce its new Diploma of Screen course as a follow-up to its renowned Certificate IV and Advanced Diploma courses which have already proved to be a great success. They have attracted a wide range of participants, many of whom have been graduates of Universities and TAFE's but have understood the significant career value of undertaking our uniquely focused, intensive industrial training.

 Our Diploma is designed to be very user-friendly, particularly for those who can only spare limited time each week, and who wish to maintain their current jobs. It will be run part-time over 42 weeks, enabling students to continue with their full time jobs or other part-time occupations, and also if they wish, to continue to build their networks, and to pursue production opportunities in the industry.

Each student will take one of the key creative roles and the responsibility associated with that role in completing a minimum of 4 productions in production teams, including a music video clip for a working band, a short drama, and a  television commercial for a business client. They will also have the choice of making either another short drama, or a documentary.

Students will also have the option of taking part in the KODAK TERTIARY TELEVISION COMMERCIAL COMPETITION during the course. QPIX Training students have been the winners of this competition state-wide 2 times over the last 3 years.

Graduates will therefore secure a minimum of 4 screen credits and that critical industry calling card, a showreel. However, they will also gain credits for working on their fellow students productions, which could total to as many as 16 productions or more over the period of the course.

Graduates of this intensive program will have a well-rounded understanding of, and skills in, the process of manufacturing product for the screen industries.  Graduates can go on to seek contracts as professional providers in at least 3 commercial areas of the industry – television commercials, corporate videos and music video clips.

The course will be run on two evenings a week, plus one day on the weekend with some out-of-hours time required during production.

QPIX Training’s nationally recognised industry programs are designed to focus on the creative and entrepreneurial aspects of filmmaking.  We also provide strong, pragmatic training in the technical, manufacturing and administrative aspects of the process, but concentrate closely on the origination, development and delivery of product designed for the industry. In addition to this highly focused approach, QPIX Training also enjoys a partnership with QPIX, the state screen development centre.

QPIX’s unique mix of production programs and production-based services functioning within the same environment as our training, means students are never far from the realities, the work-a-day detail, and the excitement of creating production.
