Instável’s Production Course
Instável’s Production Course is an irreverent program, which combines essential and unavoidable subjects and trainers, with a modular approach and a strong practical component. It is not intended to provide working models, but rather to provoke thought, stimulate synergies, and encourage interactions.

“Instável’s Production Course was an opportunity to find out and understand the importance of production work, and how much creativity there is in this process.”
Francisca Alves / Former student, 2023
“Instável’s Production Course gave me exactly what I was looking for, namely, trainers who currently work in the area, and modules that link theory with practice, allowing me to acquire useful knowledge for the workplace. There is a great diversity of modules and good monitoring of each person enrolled, whatever their background, which surprised me positively. You will definitely leave with a better understanding of what it means to be a producer and everything that comes with it!”
