The Education department is a division within ITN Productions, producing 3-4 minute videos for students learning English as a foreign language across the world, including Brazil, Mexico, China and Japan, and our clients are global publishers. We license TV factual entertainment, TV documentaries, travel logs, cookery programmes and other great existing content from around the world and re-purpose them into fantastic, award-winning short films to help students learn English faster & smarter.
