Breathe in the new digital content creation course

Next year, Oxygen College in Geelong is offering a new full-time two-year Digital Content Creation program comprising of CUA31115 Certificate III in Visual Arts and CUA41215 Certificate IV in Screen and Media in the first year and a CUA51015 Diploma of Screen and Media in the second year.

The program will deliver the skills needed to generate all forms of digital content – video, photography, graphics and audio.

As part of the two-year course, students will investigate micro business opportunities, capture images in response to a brief and learn skills to capture, edit and complete video, sound and graphic content from the ground up.

Students will undertake many projects, learning the skills necessary to work to a brief, which in turn prepares them for the realities of working directly for clients.

Student admissions officer Luke McNamara said more than ever, businesses are looking for innovative digital media content generators to carry their business forward online and it offers a growing and diverse range of employment opportunities.

“The change in media is not only offering full-time work opportunities, but has also seen a shift toward what is called the ‘gig economy’, which means new roles are being shifted to contracting, short-term positions,” Mr McNamara said.

The program is suitable to anyone with an interest in screen and media, film, photography, social media, videography, but ultimately, the digital world.

People who are willing to adapt to the changing landscape of the creative industries are strongly encouraged to apply.

It is an entry-level course and year 12 is not required.

Oxygen College is a Registered Training Organisation that offers Nationally Recognised Qualifications. Skills First government funding and VET Student Loans are available to eligible applicants. The program begins at the start of February 2018.

Classes run for two and a half days a week on Wednesday and Friday (9am – 4pm) and Thursday (9am-12pm).
