About Media Training
We run practical, hands-on courses in creative software, video, digital marketing and AI tools for individuals and teams from organisations across the UK. Classes are small, at our London Islington centre, live online and at client venues. We look after the course outlines, bookings, venues and delegates, and work with independent subject experts to deliver the training.
Small groups
Most classes have up to 8 delegates, so there’s time to help everyone with their own questions and projects.
Established outlines
Each course has an agreed outline and learning outcomes. How you teach it is down to your own expertise and style.
We handle the admin
We market the courses, take the bookings and look after delegates and venues, so you can concentrate on delivery.
Individuals and companies
We work with independent freelancers and with training businesses. The same introduction form works for both.

You don’t need a teaching qualification or a background in training. What matters is that your knowledge of the subject is at what would be considered an expert level, built from real-world use, and that you can explain it clearly and patiently. Many great trainers are practitioners: editors, camera operators, marketers, analysts and designers who use these tools every day.
What we look for
Expert-level, current, hands-on knowledge of the software or subject, and the ability to break it down for beginners as well as experienced users.
What you’ll get from us
Our course outlines, what delegates on each course typically want to achieve, and the feedback delegates give after each course.
How engagement works
Introduce yourself
Tell us which courses you could deliver, your day rate and a little about your experience using the form below.
An informal chat
If your subjects match our needs, we’ll get in touch to talk about your expertise and how you like to deliver training.
Agree terms
We may ask for a short sample session. We then agree your day rate and put a written freelance services agreement in place.
Course by course
We offer you course dates as they’re booked. You accept the ones that suit you and are free to turn down any that don’t.
Invoice us
After each course you invoice us at the agreed rate. We aim to pay within 35 days of receiving your invoice.
Working with us on a freelance basis
This is an opportunity to provide training services as an independent business. It isn’t a job vacancy or an offer of employment. When we work together:
- You’re self-employed or trade through your own company, and you look after your own tax and National Insurance (and VAT, if you’re registered).
- We engage you course by course. There’s no guaranteed amount of work, and you’re free to accept or decline any dates we offer.
- You’re free to provide services to other clients as well as to us.
- You bring your own expertise and decide how best to teach the agreed course content.
- You invoice us for each course you deliver at your agreed rate.
