Confetti courses are operated in partnership with Castle College, Nottingham and De Montfort University, Leicester. However, what makes Confetti really unique are the smaller companies, which run alongside the institute, that form The Confetti Group. These are:

Spool Post
- Film and Television
Constellations
- Design and Educational Consultancy

The existence of commercial companies, working alongside the educational institute, is a huge advantage to Confetti students as they gain experience of working in a professional environment and learn the skills which are currently being used in the Industry, which prepares them for their own professional careers.

The commercial aspect of Confetti also strengthens and forges strong links with companies in the Creative Industries. These links create opportunities for our students, uncommon to many colleges, such as future employment, guest lectures, studio tours, trade show visits and personal contact with a whole range of industry professionals.

Confetti has been designed throughout to promote the learning of Creative Technologies. Confetti believes design is a key factor, which contributes to the overall success of the institute, for the following reasons:

1. Academic environments can considerably affect a students’ ability to learn and stay focused. This is why all of Confetti’s teaching rooms and studios are comfortable, well resourced, functional and professional. This ensures our students are motivated, enjoy learning and, ultimately, achieve their potential.

2. The studios at Confetti are industry standard which allows students to recognise that they are learning the latest skills which will form the basis of their future careers. Confetti is designed for learning and working with a professional attitude.

3. Teaching Creative Technologies presents new challenges, not found in traditional subjects, due to the extensive demonstration of equipment and techniques. Good design aids effective teaching by ensuring all students have a clear view of what is being taught and the opportunity to put it into practice.

At Confetti there are no communication barriers between management, teaching staff and students. Through listening and responding to voices at all levels we are able to continuously improve as an organisation and make the changes that matter. This leads to a high level of student satisfaction, and aids staff retention which results in consistent teaching from one year to the next.

We choose our teaching staff on the basis of specialist knowledge, industry experience and the ability to think creatively.

Most of our part-time staff balance professional careers with teaching, this means our teaching is always industry relevant and up to date. This approach is taken by some of the most successful educational organisations today and widely encouraged by educational bodies.
