Who might want to enrol in a Story-Type Method online course?
These are advanced courses, so they are not for beginners.
The minimum level of experience would be film students with a master's degree. Most of our alumni are professional writers, directors, creative producers, showrunners, story editors and development executives working in the Film and TV industry, worldwide.
We really don't believe in a one-size-fits-all, simplistic approach: Screenwriting and script development require talent, hard work, and originality.
If you're looking for a modern, flexible approach to story structure, if you want to learn about the craft and are keen to troubleshoot your projects, then our courses should be a great fit for you.
How are the courses delivered?
All our online courses are self-led, with no live interactive element. However, we use advanced online tools to deliver a unique experience: training videos with subtitles and transcripts, quizzes, optional games for our flagship courses (10 hours of training content or more) and extensive course materials.
Although the transcripts are not downloadable, all the slides shown in a course are included in the course materials. Some courses have companion books, in which case the book allows you to dive further into the subject. Free samplers of our books (first 60-70 pages) are also included in the course materials.
We can deliver live, interactive online sessions (Q&A, group work, project work, one-to-one meetings) for groups or teams of five or more participants, but these optional sessions can't be purchased directly from the website. Please look at our Live Workshops for more information or contact us.
If you'd like to get some feedback on your project after completing a course, please check our Consulting and Coaching options.
Are there prerequisites or language requirements?
All our online courses are delivered in English, so a good understanding of the language is necessary. All our training videos come with English subtitles and transcripts, which makes them more accessible to non-native English speakers.
Otherwise, you're expected to have an intermediate to advanced understanding and practice of screenwriting.
Some of our courses require participants to have attended our Advanced Development Workshop or read "Screenwriting Unchained" before going through the content. This will be specified for each course.
