Our Story
jade-fern began in 2018 when three video production veterans recognized a gap in the local education landscape. While universities offered broad media degrees and online platforms provided isolated tutorials, no one was teaching the integrated workflow that professionals actually use.
We opened our first classroom in a converted warehouse space on Wellington Street with twelve students and a clear mission: teach practical skills through real projects, with instructors who still work in the field they teach.
Six years later, we have trained over two thousand students, expanded to six classrooms, and maintained our founding principle. Every instructor at jade-fern continues to take on professional projects alongside their teaching responsibilities. This keeps our curriculum grounded in current industry practices rather than outdated theory.
