Storytelling skills are essential for anyone involved in the media and they’ve now become critical in personal and corporate branding in general.  We’d like to share a few courses available to help you enhance your skill set, whether you are just starting out, or a professional looking to add something new to your repertoire. There are classes available by a team of talented instructors through BCIT.

 

Our team of storytellers and educators have recently been involved in helping to redesign the Part-Time Studies Broadcast Program at BCIT into a Certificate in Contemporary Media with an adjoining Associate Certificate in Cross-Platform Storytelling.  These have not taken effect yet, so in the meantime you can view the current list of courses in the Part-Time Studies Broadcast Program at BCIT here:
