The Fast Track Series Producer scheme is a ground-breaking new training programme aimed at cultivating the next generation of senior production talent.

The course, taught by some of the most influential programme-makers of recent years including Robert Thirkell, TV’s troubleshooter and Series Editor of Jamie’s School Dinners, will provide experienced freelance producers with the key managerial, editorial and creative skills needed to be a successful Series Producer.

The Fast Track will run over six months and consists of a week of intensive masterclasses and practical workshops followed by two weekend training sessions and a two further weekdays. As well as one-on-one mentoring. It will also feature exclusive access to key Execs and Commissioners through a series of networking events.

The scheme is open to producer/ directors – or similar – junior SPs or Execs who are living in Wales and are seeking to hone their series producing skills. The applicants will have substantial programme-making experience. We are particularly keen to train those working in factual, factual entertainment and current affairs.

The hands-on course will cover all the skills needed to series produce with confidence including how to rescue material in an edit, people management, handling talent, compliance, budgets and 360° programming.
