Train with us
Taught by people who did the job on a unit this year.
Courses by department on a working production package, taught by people who are on units now. Trainees and heads of department in the same building.
Every course says whether we run it or somebody else does. Where another organisation holds the qualification for a craft, we point you at them.
Where to start
Where to start.
01
I have never been on a set
Start with Set Ready. No kit, no contacts, no degree, and nobody expects you to know the words yet.
02
I am in, and stuck
Department courses, and refresher modules for working crew when a format, a workflow or a piece of kit has moved.
03
I cannot afford it
Funded places exist. Say on the form what would stop you taking a place and it is discussed case by case.
04
I cannot get there
Barriers are discussed case by case, sometimes with a third-party funder. Tell us on the form.
How it works
You will be on a unit, not in a classroom.
Production simulation
A working call sheet, and real consequences.
Every course ends with a shoot day run at working pace. You hold a grade, you have a call time, and the day does not stop because you are learning.
A practitioner watches. They do not rescue you.
What we ask for
No degree, no membership, no kit of your own.
We do not ask for a showreel, a portfolio, or anybody to vouch for you.
01
Register your interest
One form. It puts you on the list for every course, and you hear first when something opens.
02
Pick a course, or ask us
If you are not sure which grade suits you, say so on the form and somebody who works in that department will tell you.
03
Apply when it opens
Places are limited and decided case by case. Registering is not an application and an application is not a place.
04
Turn up at call
That is the hardest requirement.
After
Where people have gone.
