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.

How to Create the Perfect Sustainable Production:
An essential A to Z for production staff

Thursday 22nd February 2024 @ 5pm for appox 90 mins

Another chance to join this popular and important session.

With corporate climate targets and regulations looming for Broadcasters and Indies alike, momentum is growing for Productions to embed more meaningful changes into our workflows and decision-making, to reduce environmental impacts and ensure successful, auditable albert certification. 

So how should we be setting up budgets and cost managers for albert success? And how can we support production management teams?

We will hear what production sustainability data is revealing: what works, what doesn't, and what is the latest news on certification, decarbonisation and what questions to ask suppliers about low carbon solutions.

Come and join us for a frank and practical discussion for successful production sustainability from Accountancy to Zooms. 

Subtitling is available with this session.

Delivered by Zoom our session is open to anyone, £40 per person, payable in advance.  (FREE for PMA members and those on the PMA’s Recommended Junior Production Staff list)

Payment in advance required.  RSVP by clicking the REGISTER for EVENT button or email [email protected].

Our Sponsors

The PMA is sponsored by a variety of companies in the film and television industry. We have a long-standing relationship with many of them dating back to the PMA’s inception in 1991.

PMA members benefit from the information and services that our sponsors can provide, while sponsors gain access to the upper echelon of Production Managers in the UK who are major purchasers for the industry.

We only have one sponsor per area of business but occasionally opportunities to become a sponsor of the PMA do arise.

Sponsors get the chance to meet our members several times a year, host parties, explain their services and write for our magazine The Bottom Line.
