Training We Offer
You do NOT need to be a member of the PMA to take part in this training.
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.

In this 90 min session, PMA sponsor CTV will romp through the workings of setting up an outside broadcast from beginning to end. They will:
-
demystify the terminology and enable you to understand the glossary of terms
-
make sure that you know what questions you will be asked by the OB company and what questions you need to be asking them
-
aim to make this as un-technical as possible and explain it all from a Production Manager and Production Co-ordinator's point of view.
So come and find out what it is you need to know, and even the stuff you didn't know you needed to know.
Cost: FREE to PMA members and £33 for everyone, payable to PMA, Co-operative Bank. Sort Code: 08-92-99. Account Number: 65213803 using your name as reference if possible.
