About Alpha Pacific Institute TV-Film-Radio-Photo and Design for Print and Web

Located in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, the on-location filmmaking, photography and TV production weather is perfect year round! (Well.. Almost.)

Because Alpha Pacific is made up of professionals with years of experience, we know what employers are looking for. And all of our instructors are currently employed in the fields they instruct. In fact, the Alpha Pacific Studios are actual TV and Multimedia production studios with producers, designers and directors walking our hallways.

Better than college?
We're not saying that a "college" education is bad. Not at all. But far too many college and "tech-school" graduates find themselves struggling after graduation because they lack the basic technical skills needed to obtain entry level jobs in their fields. Many become discouraged because employers are looking for people with "actual" experience.

These are some of the main reasons why Alpha Pacific Institute exists today.
Alpha Pacific allows you to get the real professional "hands-on" and "real world" experience employers are looking for! And we don't close the doors behind you after you graduate. We're here with placement assistance and you can attend additional *classes and use the facilities to help further develop your skills for up to a year!.
And best yet? We keep the learning stimulating, creative and fun! (*Based on availability and student's grad. status)

Alpha Pacific offers three main fields of study.

-Television Broadcasting & Filmmaking,
