Corporate Production

Corporate is a booming industry. Corporate tends to pay its production teams better too, demanding broadcast standard filmmaking or production standards in return. In fact, the actors, presenters and production team members in Corporate Production come mainly from broadcast.

The Skillset Film Academy Network comprises institutions identified by the UK film industry as centres of excellence in film education and training.

Skillset works towards ensuring the UK film workforce is as highly skilled as possible so the industry can continue to compete successfully in the global marketplace.

Training and Courses

To help UK film thrive on the best talent with the highest level of skills, Skillset funds a range of schemes targeting new entrants and the existing workforce across the industry.

Financial support for individuals, freelancers, companies and training providers available as part of A Bigger Future.

Audio visual archiving has recently become part of Skillset's remit so we are currently developing this section of our site. Skillset has developing a number of resources such as further information on the industry, how to enter and how to progress in it, and training opportunities.
