FAQ's

What types of videos do colleges and sixth forms need?

Further education institutions typically commission student recruitment films, course-specific promotional videos, open evening content, apprenticeship promotion campaigns and social media content for platforms including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. We also produce staff recruitment videos, virtual tour content and internal communications films. Most colleges work with us on an ongoing basis throughout the academic year, commissioning content around key recruitment windows such as open evenings, results days and clearing.

Do you have experience filming with under-18 students?

Yes. We regularly produce video content in college and sixth form environments and follow robust safeguarding and consent procedures when filming with students under 18. All crew members working in FE settings are DBS checked. We manage written consent for student contributors and can provide full documentation of our safeguarding and DBS status as part of your supplier onboarding process.

Can college videos be used on social media?

Yes. We produce all further education content with multichannel use in mind, delivering edits optimised for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, your website and paid digital campaigns. From a single shoot day, we can produce a full-length recruitment film alongside shorter social-first cuts in the correct formats and aspect ratios for each platform. This approach maximises the value of every production day and gives your marketing team a ready-to-use content library.

Do you work with colleges outside your local area?

Yes. While we are based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, we deliver further education video production for colleges and sixth forms across England and Wales. We have worked with institutions including Bolton Sixth Form College and Sandwell College, alongside local clients such as Stoke-on-Trent College, City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College and Pinc College. Travel costs for shoots outside the Midlands are discussed transparently at the proposal stage and included in your fixed-fee quote.

What budget should a college allocate for a student recruitment video?

Most college student recruitment videos start from £1,500 for social media-first content produced in a half-day shoot. A full promotional film covering multiple courses, locations and student voices typically ranges from £3,000 to £8,000. Multi-platform campaign packages — covering TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and your website — range from £5,000 to £15,000+. We provide clear, fixed-fee proposals and are happy to work within your marketing budget and procurement processes.

Can you produce content for apprenticeship recruitment campaigns?

Yes. We produce apprenticeship promotion videos for FE colleges and sixth forms, covering employer partnerships, student success stories and course-specific content. Apprenticeship videos need to speak to two distinct audiences — prospective students and employer partners — and we structure content accordingly. Deliverables can include short-form social content, longer recruitment films and employer-facing case studies. Apprenticeship campaign packages typically start from £2,500, depending on scope and number of shoot days.

How do you handle safeguarding and DBS requirements when filming with students?

All Inspired Film and Video crew members working in further education environments are DBS checked. We follow robust consent procedures for all student contributors, including written consent for students under 18 and clear communication with parents and guardians where required. We are experienced in filming sensitively in active college environments and can provide documentation of our safeguarding and DBS status as part of your supplier onboarding process.
