We normally provide a variety of workshops and training sessions countrywide. Currently all training is taking place via Zoom.
At Production Manager level we offer topics ranging from legal issues such as compliance and music licensing, to Health & Safety and tax issues. We also cover technical topics relating to production and the current pandemic situation.
For more junior people, we offer a variety of entry level and limited experience sessions, which are open to all - bursaries are sometimes available via Screenskills.
Training events are FREE to members with fees charged for non-members. Prices vary from session to session. Places are limited according to each type of event.

PRODUCTION CREW CONTRACTS
A legal workshop
Thursday 1st February 2018
6.30pm for 7pm start
01zero-One, Hopkins Street, Soho, W1F 0HS
Nigel Abbas and Jenny Spearing from Abbas Media Law will be presenting a seminar on production crew contracts on 1 February.
Crew contracts vary greatly from production company to production company, there is no standard industry template as there is for presenters, consultants etc, but the same areas should be covered in all.
This session will identify what those areas should be and also reference any updates that should be included due to changes in law and best practice and broadcaster requirements over recent years.
The session will cover:
- Schedule D, Schedule E fixed term, Loan out - what’s the difference
- Basics of employment
- Main areas that all contracts should cover and why - rights assignment, buy out of all rights, warranties/indemnity, confidentiality, termination
- Updates - anti-bribery, Diamond, DPA and GDPR
- Risks - things to consider including for crew filming in dangerous locations or filming dangerous activities
This session is entirely FREE to PMA members and £30 for other attendees.
Refreshments will be provided.
If you would like to attend please RSVP [email protected]
