Data management is a highly technical role and crucial to any production, too often overlooked or learnt on-the-job, leaving much room for error.

This comprehensive training starts with the fundamentals and getting organised in the role, through to understanding complicated jargon, how to use the latest software and many tips and tricks when it comes to trouble-shooting. There are highly practical exercises throughout.

Delegates will finish this course with full confidence to manage all media, how to support multi camera crews, whilst providing clear and transparent reports to the postproduction facility.

The programme is delivered in-person across two consecutive days from 10am-5:30pm, at our training facility in Shoreditch.

Taught by two highly experienced DIT trainers.

Please note, we are also happy to offer this on a company bespoke basis (including delivering the training at your office for convenience).
