ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
If English is not the first language, international students may be required to provide Proof of English Proficiency through the successful completion of a recognized English Language Proficiency exam.
LANGUAGE UPGRADING
If a student meets the Pull Focus Admission requirements, but does not have an acceptable test score, or test scores are too low, the student still has several options for language upgrading.
Pull Focus has joint programs with Language-Education partners to assist students in meeting English Language requirements. Students can study English full-time, until they achieve the necessary level of english proficiency, and then transition directly into the diploma program without completing the exam. Please email to receive more information on our Language-Education partners.

TESTIMONIALS
"Pull Focus’s program was a great hands-on way to learn the ins and outs of basic filmmaking and how to construct a short film. It made me realize my natural talents and cemented my ambitions to become a documentary filmmaker. Since leaving his program, I have a secure network of fellow students that share the same enthusiasm as I do to make films, and support one another through our projects. An opportunity for me is an opportunity for them, and vice versa. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who has an interest in filmmaking and wants to learn the basic skills to launch a career. You will find future opportunities based on your portfolio of work and through your networks, both of which will get a nice boost through the school."

"I took the documentary filmmaking course at Pull Focus and loved every minute of it. I learned more about filmmaking than I thought possible, my documentary project advanced by leaps and bounds, and the instructor was brilliant. I highly recommend this school to anyone that wants a fun, personalized environment."
