The courses will be at your own pace on your own time as they are video content you access online. There will be assignments and assessments designed to help you practice your skills which are spread out over the course of the program.

Expect the course commitment to be between 1-2 hours each day for 5 days of the week, or 5-10 hours of coursework per week. The amount of time it takes you to complete this coursework depends on your current skill level and comprehension. You will be given weekly deadlines to complete courses, assignments and assessments, but the pace at which you complete the coursework is up to you.

In addition, we will host 1-2 weekly online live meetings with your trainers for you to discuss your coursework, ask questions, and go over assignments. Those live meetings will be scheduled at a time to best accommodate the international students enrolled in the course.

After successfully completing the program, you will have the option of joining us for 2-3 weeks producing a short evangelistic movie for an unreached people group. This will give you invaluable hands-on experience as you contribute to creating a movie with experienced filmmakers. If you choose to join us for a project like this, you will be responsible for additional expenses for room and board, and your travel expenses to and from the film location.

To take this seminar, you will need a computer or phone and a stable internet connection.

For video assignments, you can use a DSLR camera or a smartphone. We will provide instruction for using both a smartphone and DSLR camera. We will work with you as an individual to help you to work with the equipment that you have. We recommend waiting until after the class to purchase a new camera or other equipment. However, if you do not have one of the required devices (computer or phone for coursework, DSLR camera or smart phone for assignments) you will need to borrow or purchase one in order to participate in the class and complete the required assignments.
