Training and Events

A Bigger Future is a comprehensive training strategy for UK film. To help UK film thrive on the best talent with the highest level of skills, Skillset is implementing and funding a variety of initiatives 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. We also accredit individual courses and license successful, industry-focused training insitutions to deliver training to and on behalf of the UK film industry, including our new network of Screen Academies.
