OUR APPROACH for DISABLED and DISADVANTAGED TRAINEES
In order to meet the scheduled timescales, we commence by meeting the participants prior to the courses, to help build awareness and trust. A smile is part of our culture. This also determines any special requirements with accessibility to be taken into account, enabling the students full participation in the Multimedia courses.

The filming and audio recording sessions are carried out in the most caring and respectful manner, with as much fun as possible for all. We will aid voiceover and recording of music compilation to enable participants to include music composition recorded at their sessions, to be included in their final DVD.

Award winning Yakkety-Yak aim to raise awareness of the work and support in this area and the achievements gained while ensuring all have fun learning!
