Welcome to 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. Attending Purple Mouse training can reduce time consuming render time by as much as 80% and reduce hard drive usage significantly. 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.
