About us

Raising the standard of audiovisual production in the UK

scoopzae is an informative resource and training provider for people who build, light, shoot and mix television and live events.

Why scoopzae exists

Broadcast technology moves quickly, yet good production habits stay the same: a well-planned studio, matched cameras, honest lighting and clean sound. We bring those habits together in one place for networks, independent producers and venues across the United Kingdom.

Our tutors are working professionals, so what you learn on Monday can be used on a live show on Friday.

What we stand for

  • Practice first

    Every session is built around real equipment and real production problems, not slides alone.

  • Whole-chain thinking

    Studio, camera, light and sound are taught as one connected system, the way a gallery actually runs.

  • Calm under pressure

    Live television leaves no room for guesswork, so we rehearse fallbacks until they become routine.

Classroom with large monitors showing camera feeds and workstations

Training that fits a working schedule

Courses run part-time in London, Manchester and Glasgow, with online theory sessions between the studio days. Introductory prices are available on selected intakes.
