Advanced Certificate in Film and Documentary 6M5130
GTI's Advanced Certificate in Film and Documentary course allows students to develop their film and documentary-making skills using professional and specialised equipment with the support of dedicated, experienced teachers. In addition to this, Galway’s reputation as a student friendly city and its status as a UNESCO City of Film are part of what make GTI such a great place to study film and television. Throughout the year, students will be challenged and engaged by a range of media projects both in GTI and in the industry including the production of their own films and documentaries. Students have the opportunity to take part in a three week industry work placement either in Ireland or in a European country as part of the Erasmus+ programme. Learners will also be involved in screening films and documentaries at an end of year cinema screening.
Provide students with the skills necessary to work in the rapidly growing Media Industry in Ireland and abroad.

The Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Film and Documentary gave me the education and experience necessary to confidently step into third level education and seek a career in film. The course perfectly balances theory and practical exercises and gives students the information they need to begin creating their own films and video projects to a high standard. The Erasmus program allowed me to go to Finland for 3 weeks and experience a professional working environment in a film studio where we were given a variety of projects to work on. It also let me experience a country and culture very different to my own as well as establish international connections I keep to this day. I highly recommend this course to anybody interested in film and those looking for a good pathway into third level education. Lukasz Langowski
