West Highland Animation offers various types of animation workshops.

1. Short day or half day workshops which give children an introduction to animating. These can be conducted in English or Gaelic
2. Weekend workshops where a group can make a very short film. Again these can be conducted in English or Gaelic.
3. Week or two week workshops with Primary school children to make a 4-5 minute film. The children script the film, make the artwork, record the voices and do the animation. WHA studio completes the  post-production.  These are conducted in Gaelic though the films are usually made bilingually for DVD and broadcast.
