Here’s a good training opportunity for new entrants to the industry: the Production Assistant Training Programme for Unscripted TV offered by Media Career Advice and backed by ScreenSkills.

It’s an entry level programme and is open to:

- New entrants

- Runners

- Those from outside of the industry with transferable skills

- Those returning to work after a career break

- Those transferring from other areas of the TV & Film industry

It includes:

- Production Assistant training (both online & in-person)

- 6hrs of mentoring with an industry professional

and…

- 3 month paid placement (well worth doing just for this!)

The training programme is heavily subsidised with a fee of only £200, payable by successful delegates, with bursaries available for those who require support.
