The people behind freshtiq

We are a UK team of working broadcast engineers and producers who turned years of studio floor experience into a practical course.

Teaching studio with a lighting grid and camera rigs

Built around the studio floor

freshtiq began as a set of internal training sessions for new starters at a regional television facility. Colleagues kept asking for the same thing: clear, hands-on teaching that skips the theory nobody uses on a live show.

Today the course covers broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering and streamlined workflows for television networks and live events.

How we teach

Learn on real kit

Every module runs in a working studio, so you handle the same cameras, desks and control surfaces you will meet on the job.

Light with intent

We teach you to read a set, shape a shot and build lighting plots that make sense for every camera angle.

Respect the audio

Viewers forgive a soft picture long before they forgive bad sound. Audio gets equal weight in every session.

Stay calm live

Workflow, communication and backup plans are practised until they become second nature when the red light is on.

Sound is half the picture

Our sound room mirrors a broadcast audio control suite, with a digital console, monitoring and routing. Learners practise balancing dialogue, music and effects for live programmes and events.

Cohorts stay small, so every learner gets time on the faders and direct feedback from the engineers who mix real shows.
