This workshop is designed for creatives, business owners, content creators, and aspiring editors looking for a practical introduction to editing — no professional editing background is required. It's an accessible starting point before more advanced post-production training.

No professional editing background is required. Some prior experience helps but isn't necessary — we recommend getting familiar with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut (Desktop) before attending so you can get the most out of the four days.

December 20–23, 2026 from 9:00 AM–4:00 PM daily in Port of Spain, Trinidad (parking available). The exact venue will be shared once your acceptance is confirmed.

You must bring your own laptop capable of running professional editing software, along with your charger, mouse, headphones, any necessary adapters, and an external drive if you use one.

You'll work in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut (Desktop). Please have one of these downloaded, installed, and tested on your laptop before the workshop begins.

Yes — you'll receive a certificate to add to your portfolio and résumé, and top performers may be offered future job opportunities within our network.
