The interactive, hands-on experience we offer is a carefully designed system that turns your passion into a real career.

These reviews come from real people who were once in the same position as you are today. F.I.R.S.T. is more than happy to go on and on about all the good our courses could do for you, but why not hear it from students that have already experienced it?
Small Class Sizes
At F.I.R.S.T., we keep our classes small so that you never have to worry about feeling disconnected from your courses. No matter if you sign up for music production courses or online film classes, you’ll benefit from an inclusive atmosphere where everyone has an equal opportunity to participate and ask questions. Other institutions are notorious for filling their classes to the brim, but not F.I.R.S.T. We take a small, collaborative approach that allows you to form connections with fellow students and instructors for the best experience possible.
Ten-Month Programs
In less than a year, you’ll graduate from F.I.R.S.T. with all the knowledge and real-world experience you need to obtain entry-level employment in your industry. Our accelerated approach doesn’t dilly dally, and it gets straight to the information you need. In a quarter of the time, you’ll be prepped, ready, and confident to make a splash in careers in photography, audio engineering, film and video, or graphic design.
No General Education Requirements
Part of the success of our accelerated programs is due to no time-wasting general-education requirements. Why spend years and thousands of dollars on a curriculum that’s not focused on your career? During your time at F.I.R.S.T., you won’t be required to take courses such as English, Math, or History. Instead, you’ll spend all of your time in classes that are tailor-made to help you achieve success in your dream career.
