Work with us!

We’re always looking for passionate educators and creative professionals to join our growing team! At BrainBuffet, our mission is simple: create innovative, hands-on learning experiences that set both students and teachers up for success.

Our courses are built around real-world projects, multi-modal learning, and resources that make learning fun and meaningful. Students watch guided tutorials, answer interactive questions, complete tactile workbook activities, and build their own design portfolios along the way.

And we don’t just prepare students, we support teachers every step of the journey. With lesson plans, answer keys, finished files, and a dedicated support team, we make sure educators have everything they need to thrive.

If you’re excited about creating engaging content, teaching hands-on skills, or shaping curriculum that inspires classrooms everywhere, we’d love to meet you. Whether you’re interested in becoming a Trainer, Course Instructor, or Curriculum Consultant, click here and tell us more about yourself.

Let’s build something amazing together!

By gathering invaluable feedback from educators and schools, we are now rolling out targeted enhancements to our Photoshop 2025 course to ensure it fully meets the needs of today’s learners.

Update on Downloading Premiere Pro 2025 Student Files

We’ve updated how you download the Premiere Pro 2025 student files to give you and your students a smoother experience.
From now on, please use our new Dropbox link instead of Google Drive, as Google Drive has trouble handling larger files.
Premiere Pro is a demanding program, and because our courses are hands-on and project-based, the files can be large. A computer with sufficient storage space is required to follow along with this course.

To make downloads easier, we’ve compressed the 1080p files. This should speed things up without compromising quality. For students who can download larger files, we’re still including the 4K folder as an option.

⚠️ Please note: If students have very limited storage space (less than 10GB of available space), we recommend downloading Module 1 first, completing the project, and then deleting those files before moving on to Module 2. Continue this process for each module (download → finish project → delete files → move to the next module). This will keep their computer storage free and make the download process easier.
