You do not need to bring specialist equipment for this course. WM College provides access to Mac computers and Adobe Premiere Pro during sessions.
You may wish to bring a notebook and a storage device to save your work. If you want to practise outside class, your tutor can advise you on suitable Adobe software options, but this is optional.
Most equipment and software are provided during sessions.
You may choose to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud to continue practising at home. Students may be eligible for discounted rates. Any additional costs are optional and will be explained by your tutor, but they are not required to complete the course.
Assessment and next steps
Assessment is continuous and based on practical work completed during the course. You will complete editing exercises and a short video project that demonstrates your progress.
You will receive feedback through peer review and from your tutor, both verbally and in writing. Assessment is supportive and designed to build confidence. This is a non-accredited course, with a certificate of completion available on request.
By the end of the course, you will:
- Develop practical video editing skills using Premiere Pro
- Gain confidence in producing finished video content
- Complete a short edited video project

There is no required work outside class. You may choose to practise your editing skills between sessions. Your tutor will provide guidance if you want to continue developing your projects independently.
After completing this course, you can progress to higher-level video editing and production courses at WM College, including Level 2 Film and Television or specialist post-production courses.
You may also explore Adobe After Effects for visual effects or DaVinci Resolve for colour grading and advanced workflows. These pathways support progression into content creation, filmmaking and freelance media work.
