Make your own collaborative documentary in 4 weeks! Join our intensive four-week Documentary Certificate course to gain practical skills, documentary filmmaking experience and industry understanding to develop your own documentaries. Please note that from 18 July 2016, the duration of this course will be extended to 6 weeks.

If you’ve got an idea for a documentary and want to know how to develop your idea into a gripping narrative then our Documentary Certificate provides the perfect grounding. We teach you documentary research methodologies and how to apply them to your productions to get them started.

Over the four weeks you:

Practise pitching your final projects to a panel of documentary industry professionals
Working in small groups with excellent tutor-to-student ratios ensures that you benefit from the close-knit nurturing environment that we strive for at London Film Academy. Regular group feedback sessions, mentoring and technical support enhance your learning and your individual project needs.
