History

Confetti Institute was founded in 1994 by Craig Chettle.[1][2] It was originally called Confetti Studios.[2] In 2000, Confetti Studios was renamed to Confetti Media Group and the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies was established as the education arm of the group. Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies has won the Association of Colleges' Beacon Award in 2009.

In 2013, Confetti Institute was visited by Prince Harry.[3]

In 2018, the institute opened its new Digital Media Hub, and music venue Metronome, both in the Creative Quarter.[2] In 2019, the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies was acquired by Nottingham Trent University.

In 2022, Confetti X, an Esports venue and complex, is set to open. The institution also played host to the opening stages of the inaugural Commonwealth Esports Championships.[4]

Partnerships

Confetti is part of the Confetti Media Group which is a family of businesses based in Nottingham committed to driving new approaches to education and creative industries. The businesses include: Antenna, Constellations, Spool, Notts TV, Metronome, and Confetti X. [5]

Confetti has a wealth of carefully created relationships and connections within the creative industries - in Nottingham and further afield. Some are ‘formal’ – from education provider Access Creative, our partner in further education delivery, to our parent company Nottingham Trent University.

Confetti's local partners include Notts TV, the Nottingham Poetry Festival, BBC Introducing, NUSIC,  Hockley Hustle, Splendour Festival, the Young Creative Awards, as well as national – Screen Skills, Bafta, Channel 4, The British Games Institute and Creative England.  But all exist to generate opportunities for students and to create entry routes and give competitive advantage when pursuing careers.

All Confetti's degrees are validated by Nottingham Trent University
