During their time in Kigali on January 31, 2025, the students received advanced training in film production, photography, and related fields. Their decision to visit the school stemmed from their desire to enhance their skills in these areas.
Jilly Claude Uwizeyimana, the director of IBTC Film School, told IGIHE that the visit aimed to help the students improve their expertise.
“They reached out to us after seeing our work on our website. One of them visited first, and then requested to return with the rest,” he explained.
He added, “Since we have been in the industry for a long time, it is important to support those who want to enhance their skills. We have extensive experience, and we are helping them build on it.”
Uwizeyimana also expressed his excitement about students seeking to learn from IBTC, stating that the institution will continue expanding its activities to attract even more learners in the future.

The visiting Ugandan students were equally thrilled about the experience, emphasizing that the knowledge gained at IBTC would help them become competitive in the job market.
Among them was Bright Ngabirano, the youngest at just eight years old, who shared his enthusiasm:
“I learned a lot at IBTC, and I will apply these skills in the future. My dream is to become a great photographer and establish a photography studio.”
Ian Mugisha, the founder of Elite Training Academy, thanked IBTC Film School for welcoming them and broadening their expertise.
“I discovered IBTC through their online presence and was impressed by their experience and equipment. I immediately thought it would be beneficial to learn from them. We are excited because we have gained knowledge that is not yet available in Uganda, as we are still in the early stages,” he said.

Founded in 2012, IBTC Film School offers courses in film production, video editing, and photography. So far, it has trained 1,029 professionals who have joined the job market.
The school’s impact has led to the establishment of similar institutions, such as KFTV, KIAC, and Bright Academy, as well as numerous companies that have benefited from IBTC-trained professionals.
Additionally, IBTC Film School has expanded its teaching methods by offering online courses, allowing students to learn from anywhere in a convenient and flexible manner.
