Here at Twins FX we offer work experience for all levels, from secondary school to higher education and beyond. We have had many many students over the years with varying levels of skill sets and previous experience. Some students are just here for a week and some stay for as long as a year! Over their time with us, students are included in nearly every aspect of our work and are encouraged to get involved and learn new skills.
 
We are also proud to sponsor graduate exhibition shows like New Blades and have been awarding The Twins FX WOW award to deserving students for several years.
