The Institute Of Music & Technology at Hurricane Studios in Deptford South London UKTraining for careers in the creative media, film, web and music industries and related businesses
We encourage all our students to attend work placements. Some students are required by their funding contracts to do so but we believe that it is an essential component of all training that students get real world experience whilst on their training programmes.
In general, students will attend between 1 and 3 days a week. This is usually decided in partnership with the employer, student and us. Most students attend for a minimum of 5 hours a day for 2 days a week but this is flexible and we are ready to adapt to the needs of the employer.
We only ask that employers ensure students are free to attend their training days (usually 2 a week).
There is no fixed duration but we seek to have a student attend every week whilst they are on programme. Many of our programmes are 13 weeks long so we might expect a student to start attending as soon as a placement is arranged. This might happen before the students starts or within the first 2-3 weeks.
Many students continue attending their placements after their training has finished.
If you are interested in training for your employees, or would like to take on an apprentice or offer a work placement for a student please contact us ... info@imthurricane.org
