National Film and Television School, A Skillset Screen & Media Academy
"The National Film and Television School (NFTS) is at the heart of film and television training in the UK," says NFTS graduate David Yates - and as a BAFTA-winning director of highly-rated television dramas like Sex Traffic and State of Play, not to mention Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he should know.
Working in purpose-built, Industry-standard, television and film studios, NFTS students learn from some of the UK's most accomplished TV professionals. Taking on their future professional roles from the outset, they learn their craft by making programmes and films, working to professional standards as closely as they can. It's an approach that gets results - the 4 Children's BAFTA Awards (Best Drama, Best Animation, Best Interactive and Best Pre-School Animation) - won by NFTS graduates last month, are testament to that.
The NFTS has launched the careers of hundreds of people working in UK television today. From the people who originate the ideas - drama, factual, entertainment - through those who commission them, to the programme-makers who put them on our screens, NFTS alumni are among the most sought-after creative and technical personnel in the Industry.
