Course Pricing Explained — Comprehensive Media Pro Digital

Why We Don't Use Pricing Tiers

Most course providers split their offering into Bronze, Silver, Gold — or Starter, Professional, Enterprise. The labels change; the psychology doesn't. You're meant to feel inadequate choosing the cheapest and reckless choosing the most expensive, so you land in the middle. That middle tier is where margin lives.

We rejected that model in 2021. Every learner who enrols gets the same curriculum, the same instructor access, the same project library, and the same certification. The price is the price. There's one course, one fee, one set of outcomes.

What Shapes Our Course Fee

Our fee is built from six real cost drivers. We publish them because we think you should know where your money goes — not just what you get in return.

Cost Component	What It Covers	Share of Fee
Instructor Time	Live sessions, office hours, async feedback on assignments	34%
Platform & Tools	Editing software licences, cloud rendering, LMS hosting	18%
Curriculum Development	Annual content refresh, industry alignment, new module creation	16%
Project Resources	Stock media libraries, template kits, production asset packs	12%
Certification & Assessment	Portfolio review, grading infrastructure, credential issuance	11%
Learner Support	Technical helpdesk, onboarding calls, community moderation	9%

The total course fee is €1,740. That figure hasn't changed since January 2024. We review it annually in December and publish any adjustment thirty days before it takes effect.

"I compared five media courses before choosing this one. Two were cheaper but charged extra for software access and certification. One was more expensive and offered less contact time. The transparency here made the decision easy." — Roisin Gallagher, Cork, enrolled March 2024

The Learner Journey — Week by Week

Enrolment opens six times per year. Each cohort runs for fourteen weeks. The first two weeks are orientation and tool setup — no graded work, no pressure. Weeks three through ten are the production core: you build, you get feedback, you rebuild. Weeks eleven and twelve focus on portfolio assembly. The final two weeks are assessment, revision, and certification.

There's no acceleration option and no extension. Fourteen weeks is what the curriculum needs. We tested shorter formats in 2022 and completion quality dropped measurably.

"The fourteen-week structure felt long when I started. By week eight I understood why — the revision cycles between weeks six and ten are where the real learning happens." — Declan Murtagh, Limerick, graduated August 2024

Is This Course Right for You?

Honest fit assessment. We'd rather you not enrol than enrol and drop out.

Good Fit

You want to produce media professionally — freelance, in-house, or for your own brand. You can commit 10–14 hours per week for fourteen weeks. You're comfortable learning software tools from scratch.

Also Good Fit

You already work in a related field (marketing, communications, content writing) and want to add production skills. You've tried self-teaching and hit a ceiling.

Not the Right Fit

You're looking for passive, watch-at-your-own-pace content. Our course requires active participation, deadlines, and peer collaboration. It's structured intentionally.

Also Not Right

You need advanced specialisation in one area (e.g., colour science, sound design for film). This is a comprehensive production course, not a deep-dive masterclass.
