About the course

This evening course is designed for adult learners who want to develop practical video editing skills using Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the leading tools used in the media industry.

Over 10 weeks, you will gain hands-on experience in editing video content, learning how to turn raw footage into polished, professional sequences. The course is suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to build on existing skills, with a strong focus on both creativity and technical understanding.

You will work with supplied footage and have the opportunity to use your own media, helping you develop a personal editing style for both professional and personal projects.

Course content

During the course, you will cover:

  • Introduction to the Adobe Premiere Pro workspace
  • Importing and organising media assets
  • Key cutting and sequencing techniques
  • Colour correction using Lumetri Color
  • Editing and mixing audio
  • Adding titles and creating captions
  • Video and audio transitions
  • Adjustment layers and visual effects

  • Rendering and exporting finished projects
How is the course delivered and assessed?

The course is delivered through practical, tutor-led workshops using the college’s computers and industry-standard software.

You will work mainly independently to build your editing skills, supported by demonstrations and guidance from your tutor. You are encouraged to use your own media where possible, although all required materials will be provided.

Assessment is informal, with ongoing feedback throughout the course to support your development.
