Welcome to Videoskills The Core Competencies of Videography

An Introduction to the VideoSkills website
The IOV has researched and collated what it considers to be the core knowledge that every videographer should know in order to offer their services professionally and operate in line with the IOV’s rules of membership. This study material is broken down into five sections covering Cameracraft, Lighting, Audio, Post Production and Business & Legal.

The study section of this website is freely available to IOV Members and non-members alike. IOV Members are automatically registered when they join, whilst non-members will simply need to offer some basic contact information and an active email address to start studying the material click here to register. Please note, by registering on the VideoSkills website you are also giving the IOV permission to contact you with other promotional materials.

When a non-member registers on the site their account will be updated within 2-working days to include access to the online VideoSkills exam. This is a multiple choice exam, presented in five easy-to-complete stages covering each of the five study categories.

On passing the exam, IOV members have the option of upgrading to Associate Member by paying the £35 exam fee (non-members will be invited to join the organisation on passing the exam).
