Training and Courses
To help UK film thrive on the best talent with the highest level of skills, Creative Skillset funds a range of schemes targeting new entrants and the existing workforce across the industry.
We fund existing schemes that are already delivering what the industry needs, run bursaries to make it easier for freelancers to get the training they want, and create our own schemes to fill the gaps in current training provision.
