We’re sharing news of a great collab between the Production Guild and ScreenSkills. Read on for all the details…
Are you working in unscripted as a Production Manager, Line Producer, Producer or Showrunner? Feeling the need to brush up on your knowledge and understanding of VFX? The Production Guild, in collaboration with ScreenSkills are running a FREE VFX Management Essentials 2-day training course for anyone who could benefit.
Taking place online across the weekend of 7th & 8th March 2026, you have until Wednesday 18th February to apply.
The interactive course will be led by VFX Consultant/Production Executive Sophie Jackson and offers a comprehensive introduction to the often-misunderstood areas of VFX. Sophie has a wealth of experience in this field and will bring real-world case studies, as well as hands-on exercises. You can also expect industry guest speakers to share their knowledge, experience and effective ways of working. The aim is to demystify VFX, increase knowledge and skills, and improve day-to-day collaboration and management of VFX in unscripted shows.
You can find full details, as well as how to apply here.
Worth also knowing that if the March date doesn’t work for you, there will be further opportunities on 18th – 19th April and 18th – 19th July. For those working in unscripted productions that aren’t eligible for the HETV tax credit (documentaries under £1million per hour, reality, factual/entertainment shows), apply for the VFX Management Essentials for Unscripted TV on the 6th – 7th June.
