Want a portfolio & career placement?
Pair this course with an Equinet Career Programme
This course builds your capability and certifies you. It does not include a project-based capstone, client placement, or career coaching. Our Career Programmes are built for that: three months on a real project brief, your own product idea or a host organisation, with dedicated career support and mentorship throughout.
Many graduates take both: the course for the certification and capability, a Career Programme for the portfolio case study and placement. Speak to a course consultant about the combined pathway.

What Makes This Programme Different
Most camera videography courses teach settings. The Certified Digital Videographer 2.0 programme builds the technical discipline, production workflow, and leadership capability needed for professional video work.
Get Certified
Certification Pathway
To attain the Certified Digital Videographer 2.0 certification by Equinet Academy, complete the following modules:
- Module 1: Mirrorless and DSLR Videography Essentials (2 days, 16 hours)
- Module 2: Advanced Cinematic Mirrorless/DSLR Videography and Video Production Techniques (2 days, 16 hours)

Each module can also be taken as a standalone course. Learners who have already completed Module 1 as a standalone course may count it toward the Certified Digital Videographer 2.0 certification by completing Module 2.
