Below are some of the training opportunities on offer with ScreenSkills: 

The Indie Training Fund (ITF)


Part of ScreenSkills, the ITF runs training courses for freelancers and production companies across the UK. They’re a not-for-profit organisation led by their member companies, including many of the UK’s leading indies.

For a freelancer, attending an ITF course is not only a boost to your CV, but an opportunity for valuable peer-to-peer networking and career development advice.
