Video Arts is a UK-based video production company which produces and sells soft-skills training programmes, e-learning courses and learning platforms. Video Arts also distributes third party titles. It was founded in 1972 by John Cleese, Sir Antony Jay and a group of other television professionals.

Cleese sold the company in the 1990s,[1] and it was later bought by Tinopolis in 2007.[2] Cleese continued to feature in Video Arts' training videos.

Video Arts uses humour in its videos in order to make learning points more memorable. Its slogan is a quote from John Cleese: “People learn nothing when they’re asleep, and very little when they’re bored".[3]

Video Arts' productions include;

As well as corporate training videos, the company produced the comedy series, Fairly Secret Army, for Channel 4.
