“I recently graduated from a six month course at Metro Screen, giving me a Certificate IV in Screen. I left year 11 to study at Metro as I felt it was a more beneficial pathway for me to take, learning from 'Industry Professionals' rather than 'Media Teachers'. The course was very practical, really hands on filmmaking. I also made great friends, who will be good contacts in the future. I believe networking is the key to success.’ James Hunter, 2007 Cert IV Graduate.
