• Torrance Community Television offers three ways to become a Certified Producer.  Workshops, Waiver Exams, or Volunteering.
• There are two requisite courses, Orientation and Pre-Production Planning. There are three primary production workshops offered, "Field Production", "Post Production"  and "Studio Production". 
• Class attendance is mandatory for all workshop sessions.  One absence and you forfeit your place in the workshop.
• The Pre-Production Planning workshop is a required course, but not a pre-requisite.  You must attend one of these classes to become a certified TCtv Producer.
• Orientation Seminars are held on the third Wednesday of every month at the TCtv studios.  Pre-registration is requested.
• Although there is no deposit required for Field Production, enrollment in the Post-Production workshop is required immediately before or immediately after enrollment in the Field Production workshop.
• To register for a workshop class, you must meet the following criteria:
              Be a TCtv "User"
              Provide a personal/cashiers check or money order for the individual workshop.
              This check should be made out to the City of Torrance. 
              All payments must be made the week before the first day of a workshop.
              Sorry, we do not accept cash.
