Does your team require the practical skills to produce great quality short videos in-house without relying on external video companies?
Octave Digital provide a video production training service designed especially to fully boost in-house skills. Delivered by a highly experienced video director and trainer who will ensure your team can successfully plan, shoot, and edit their own in-house video content.
Key Benefits
Our video training course is one of our most sought after courses and is delivered across Ireland.
We have successfully delivered video training to organisations including The Southern Assembly, RSM Accountancy Ireland, The Roads Safety Authority Ireland, The Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and the Housing Rights Service NI, helping them to:
- Understand the range and cost options for video equipment
- Learn practical production and editing skills from an established video director and trainer

Video Training Delivery Options – Online vs In-Person
Our video training course is delivered in-person or online.
The online version of the course is available internationally and will bring you (and colleagues if required) from having zero / limited knowledge through to teaching you everything you need to do practically to create short videos. The course contains a wide variety of examples and practical exercises – and you’ll be guided every step of the way in creating your own content. The online course follows all the core learning elements set out below. Online courses also recorded – so you’ll have a copy to review at any stage you like.
We facilitate shorter sessions for the online delivery version and the course can be divided into a number of sessions – typically four in total.
In-person courses are typically delivered at the client’s location – and we deliver the service all over Ireland.
