People learn nothing when they’re asleep and very little when they’re bored…watch John Cleese’s message on why video training works:

Why video in learning works

Illustration: an external stimulus is an easy way to prompt discussion.
Impact: a well-placed video clip will be more memorable than any other training resource.
Structure: all of our programmes are structured into bite-sized lessons.
Support: every Video Arts resource comes with a full support kit: everything you need to deliver a training course.
Authority: video acts as an external, objective authority that reinforces the message.

Our history

Video Arts was established in 1972 by a small group of television professionals, including John Cleese, who pioneered the use of humour in training.

Since 2007 Video Arts has been part of the BAFTA award-winning Tinopolis group, one of the UK’s largest independent media producers across television, animation and new media.
