Purple Mouse training

Today more than ever post production professionals are required to deliver high quality creative output with diminishing budgets and tight deadlines. Our Final Cut Pro and Avid training courses are designed to give you the fast track towards employability and productivity. Our courses include multi-format delivery for platforms including tape, Youtube, web streaming, DVD and Blu-ray. Purple Mouse courses are designed to increase productivity and open channels of creativity by ensuring that your chosen editing platform becomes and extension of your imagination rather than a limitation to it. With the exception of discounted corporate training assignments we endeavour to restrict our courses to 2 students per course to ensure maximum personal attention and teach at a pace that is in line with our student's level of experience and expectations.

Final Cut Pro Support
We offer free telephonic support for all graduates of Purple Mouse training courses.

We are based in Fourways Johannesburg. On-site training is available on request.
