Are you starting out in film & TV in Scotland? Looking for work or to find out which area of the industry is right for you?
Our Early Entry Pathways Programme is here to help you.
This series of short training courses has been designed to provide department specific next step training courses for those in the early stages of their careers, particularly those who have undertaken initial training through Hit the Ground Running with BECTU Vision.
Our Set Ready courses will provide a deep dive into the function of the department on a production, an overview of the day-to-day running of the department, the roles and responsibilities of the entry level positions in the department and how it works with other departments.
Participants will also receive key advice for how to survive and thrive in the industry. These courses will help participants develop and build their skills, resilience and employability.
