Pat Horridge
VET Training is Pat Horridge
Since 1985 till 2016 VET delivered technical training and Post Production services. In the later years from Hoxton Square London.
Since 2017 and the closing of the Post operation under VET Pat has taken the successful bespoke technical training forwards delivering directly to clients on site to their specific requirements.
Since March 2020 this has evolved into remote delivery and narrated online sessions.
These are bespoke courses in Broadcast Technologies for groups. I also offer technical consultancy for organisations related to Avid and Post finishing.
VET Training no longer runs open short course programmes for individuals.
If I can help you with customised training, or with a group buy-out of my specially designed VET-Training courses, then do please get in touch.
