Chamber launches new video content creation course

The training arm of Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce has launched a new video content creation training course, offering a practical, hands-on two-day workshop designed to help businesses harness the power of video for social media and marketing.

The course will take place on Tuesday, 28 January and Tuesday, 11 February at Chamber HQ. Participants are required to attend both days.

The first session focuses on filming techniques and will help participants master the art of capturing professional‑quality footage using just their smartphone.

The session covers essential skills such as planning a shoot through storyboarding, shot lists and sequencing, alongside practical guidance on framing, lighting and smartphone filming tips.

Attendees will also learn how to capture high‑quality footage for business use, develop confidence in composition, angles and visual storytelling, and record clear audio using affordable lighting and sound setups.

Session two, delivered in February, shifts to editing and optimisation, guiding participants through transforming raw clips into polished, professional videos ready to share.

Topics include editing with CapCut, adding transitions, overlays, captions and audio, incorporating graphics, logos and branding, and exporting content for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

By the end of the course, every participant will leave with a fully edited 60‑second business video reel ready to post on social media.

The course will be delivered in Partnership with Blackrook Academy, a Chamber member dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses through high-impact digital skills and social media training.

Training manager Leah Quarmby said: “This is a very exciting launch for us at the Chamber. We’ve never delivered this type of training before, and it feels incredibly relevant right now.

“Businesses are looking for ways to boost their visibility and promote their services, and this course provides the tools to do just that.

“Starting the year with a course that applies across so many industries felt like the perfect way to help our members – and non-members – kick off a successful and prosperous 2026.”
