The course, taught by some of the most influential programme-makers of recent years including Robert Thirkell, Debbie Christie and Helen Black as well as leading specialists (Creative People on people management, Illumina Digital on new media and many more), 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 four weekend training sessions 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 freelance producer/ directors – or similar – junior SPs or Execs seeking to hone their series producing skills. The 10 successful applicants will have substantial programme-making experience and a network track-record. 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.
