Step 1 -
Introduction to CPA-TV
This introductory class will give you a better idea of what services we
offer at CPA-TV. Our staff will work with a small group of
prospective producers during each session, and will teach the "studio
basics" and studio policies and procedures. These introductory
classes will be offered on a regular basis throughout the year.
Please contact CPA-TV General Manager Cal Tate at (434) 995-5905 to
sign up for a class and to discuss your ideas.
Step 2 - CPA-TV
Membership
Once you become a member of CPA-TV, you will gain access to our
state-of-the-art studio facilities, located at the
Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center. Your
membership includes other perks as well, and helps with continued
maintenance of CPA-TV, a non-profit organization. While
membership is not necessary to produce programming for our station, it
is required in order to use our equipment and facilities.
Step 3 - CPA-TV
Director's Certification Course
The CPA-TV Director's Certification Course is a new approach at
training
studio directors, developed by the current CPA-TV heads of
production. This program will provide a complete hands-on
learning experience
for everyone, on a personalized basis. Prospective directors will
witness and take part in the execution of five studio productions and
eight production classes,
before completing a solo 30-minute program for airing
on CPA-TV. Once their product has been deemed suitable for
television, they will "graduate" with the ability to direct studio
productions at CPA-TV, without supervision. Contact Cal Tate for
more details about this exciting new program, as well as our internship
program for students.
