Located near the world-famous Barrandov Studios, Prague, our school occupies a newly renovated contemporary building and utilizes its own post-production studio, equipment rental house and prop house, which is among the largest of its kind in Europe.
Apart from offering our students high quality education in filmmaking, we provide them opportunity of professional placement in big and small productions through our own unique database that connects them directly to production companies. In this way they have a chance to enter the film industry while they study and start gaining professional experience.

BTEC Higher Nationals are internationally recognised Higher Education qualifications delivered to over 100,000 students a year in 60 countries worldwide. They are widely recognized both by the industry and higher education institutions. The qualification is equivalent to the first two years of a 3-year university degree.
