Joining a media course is an exciting decision that benefits from some preparation. Here is a practical guide for students considering CIMT's programs in Kochi.
No Prior Experience Required
All CIMT courses are designed for complete beginners. You do not need to own a camera, know any editing software, or have any formal art background. The programs start from absolute fundamentals and build to professional proficiency. Passion and commitment matter more than prior knowledge.
Documents to Keep Ready
- 10th and 12th mark sheets (for certificate issuance)
- Passport-size photographs (4–6)
- Aadhaar card copy
- Valid contact number for WhatsApp communication
Choosing Your Course
Photography if you love capturing moments and working with people in real environments. Video Editing if you enjoy storytelling, software work, and the post-production process. Graphic Design if you are drawn to visual communication, branding, and creative design work. Many students have interests that span multiple areas — speak to a CIMT counsellor to clarify which path aligns with your career goals.
Online vs Offline
If you are based in Kochi or Ernakulam, the offline program at Aluva gives you studio access and direct industry exposure. If you are from another district, the online program delivers the same curriculum through live sessions.
