The UK Film Training Academy (UKFTA) is an industry-led initiative that has been established to encourage and train new entrants in different areas of the burgeoning UK film industry.

Our training courses are designed and delivered by industry leaders in consultation with the film studios to
deliver the specialist skills they require at locations that allow our trainees to gain both hands-on and film set experience, enabling them to find immediate employment. The pilot courses have been a proven success (see Testimonials) and further courses will be announced (see Courses).

The skills shortage has meant there’s never been a better time to work within the film industry. There have been many media articles including the BBC and The Guardian reporting this and wages have significantly increased.

We aim to provide the industry with the skilled staff they so desperately need, so if you’re keen to work within film then our custom-designed courses are for you.

Initially based in London we have just opened an office in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and will be running courses within the North-East.
